big ticket


I am usually cautious,
won't bite off more than I can chew
so when I hit a big ticket item
like you
I was wary.

And now I see the fine print,
"as is"
no warrenty,
no guarentees,
nothing to protect me
and the artist
who has labored long
on this work of art
is suggesting
that it would be kinder
to never see
the item in question,
then to risk possible loss.

Logical, from one point of view.
But logical too
that I be left wondering
why I posed,
and why I waited,
and what exactly it was
that we made
when I threw all caution to the wind,
and spent everything I had
to touch perfection.
