It’s funny, but I have to stop
what I am doing and write this down
because of the joy that it brings me
I am putzing around with a model idea-
arranging beautifully scaled little wooden beams
against a scale drawing on graph paper
The plan calls for holes to be drilled
through the ends of the 5/16th inch beams-
about the diameter of a healthy toothpick
I brought in my hand-drill for that purpose
as well as my daintiest bit,
but not an extra hand to hold the piece
But as I returned to the library it sprang into my head
that the bottom side of my library shelves
have four channels chased into their length
And these channels are the perfect
width and depth for securing my work
against the twisting force of the drill
For the rest of the day
I will be satisfied with myself
as though I had accomplished something more.
