jackleg

a grand farrago
mosaics made up of
broken bits
jackleg jobs
done on the sly
configured
and rejiggered
on the fly
pastiche people
in hasty shanties
decorating
like magpies on acid
yet through this
mishmash mess
the patchwork perseverance
we see the beauty
in our duct-taped ingenuity
in our carry-on and can-do
in the glorious makeshift madness
of me and you
