Delicate destruction
Like painstakingly darning a sock
People don't do that any more of course
But the tools remain
In museums
Destroying the edges of what is there
To mend the whole for the long run
A decision is made
To darn or not to darn
Surgery?
Cut out what is dying
Or dead before it's time
THAT is the decision
To be made cooly
Like a surgeon
A very Delicate Destruction Indeed
