A Poem

By Matthew J. FrommPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
Bouke De Vries Memory vessel/pair 3, 2015, 2x19th century Chinese blue and white porcelain vases and glass Ø220x650mm each.

Beauty, once obvious innately

Deemed lacking in utility

What good’s a vase used only for visibility?

Then shattered prejudicially

Replaced by a lamp, rich in functionality

Beauty repurposed harshly

Forced into a new mold awkwardly

But look at the efficiency!

Isn’t this room a little bland now, sweetie?
