Poetry About Design

The first model leans where it should stand. Pencil marks gather around the failed joint. A better curve begins beneath an eraser. Form listens closely to the work required. By evening, beauty and use share one outline. Design is thought learning to enter the hand.

The scene turns slowly in another light. A better curve begins beneath an eraser. Edges soften while the question sharpens. By evening, beauty and use share one outline. Nothing is solved by looking away. Design is thought learning to enter the hand.

The first model leans where it should stand. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. A better curve begins beneath an eraser. It returns us to purpose, form, problem solving, materials, iteration, beauty, and making ideas usable. By evening, beauty and use share one outline. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
