Fallout Of A Troubled Economy

Piles of pieces pulled apart.
Hidden scraps of faded ink falling on the floor.
A sweet
long forgotten note
cradled with delight
carefully refolded and
placed 
gently inside
a vacant candy dish.

Arms reaching 
to framed photos
and tattered art
leave square imprints
of protected wall.
Folders filled with inspired creations
coat the inside of the metal can
like a rainbow.
In plastic crates
words on colored paper
redeemed
from the debris
of Change.
