Still Life with Pearls Lichtenstein

you can see anything you want to
                                     in it's hazy luster 
                 that is the real gift 
                    all irritants made good 
      it is so valuable
   to me
       like promises
            placed aside
       glossed over
it is all too perfect 
        I suppose you/I just got used to it
             the in situ grit
   the art of necessity 
               made beautiful 
         somehow

      each piece of wisdom 
  wrapped up
      forgotten about
                          over and over and over
                until you can string it all together 
        call it a life
                 because work went into it
did I tell you I own that representation of beauty?
          yes, I know how lucky I am...
