No matter how
I organize the littles –
set the unruly to task,
orchestrate harmony
from chaos –
critics dismantle
the efforts, find
the loose thread
and tug…
until all
is worthless effort.

Ah, that critic. She can sit with us but needs to stay in her corner and stop tugging at loose threads that are meant to be loose.

We can always find a loose thread, sometimes it is looking beyond the fine details at the whole that counts.

Ah, but that’s all a critic knows how to do … This is a reminder that “critic” is not my goal!
