Engineered Levi's

They once were steely blue.

A twisted comfort. Style.

It seemed to me they’d last

if not maybe forever,

then something not far off,

until my lack of wisdom

spoiled our quirky look.


My hurried decorating;

glossy magnolia scars

in faded stonewash denim

a sign of rash impatience

to end the job. Instead

I ended them. Destroying

our cred with careless flicks

of viscous and silken poison.


Mocking me, the bucket

waited, open. Hungry.

I gave. It received with glee

gulping down my favourite jeans.
