Analysis of Unique
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Each piece of the quilt is quite unique.
Intended to blend seamlessly together.
Better.
Glued and locked not mocked to imitate.
Greater.
Together more valued.
Together more to appreciate.
Original each piece is viewed unique.
Yet stronger together and seen complete.
Nothing needed to add.
Or remake to weaken to have this believed,
A duplicating what is great...
Will make better to love.
With a faking to recreate,
Something so unique.
Never to fade away.
Staying craved.
Yet...
Attempted is the wish to want,
To replace with fantasies.
Repeated to undo.
Repeated to redo.
Each piece to unglued,
A uniqueness better great together.
With a doing to have each piece deleted.
And a quilt created,
Glued and locked not mocked to imitate...
Viewed to be as easy if sold.
Unique.
Original without the flavor,
Once to have known the taste craved.
But replaced by the fakers.
Wanting to get their tasteless activities,
Popularized to demand and make...
Satisfied for all!
You know...
One for one.
And none for all!
