The Potter's Wheel - Whimsy with a Spin on Pathos

The Potter’s Wheel

Is one of three upon his pickup truck,
Which in truth never picks up anything
Because the pottery thing did not work out
And so his cousin found him a county job

Sometimes he wanders through the garden shop
And finds the earthen art that once was his:

Hecho en Mexico
Fabrique au Chine
Duoc san xuat lai viet nam
Buatan Indonesia

He sighs in remembrance, and turns away -
And did I mention that his name is Clay?

A potter's wheel and a pick up truck, and a poetry blog.
