Imagined Progress
December 22, 2015
I begin to paint my walls white.
I swipe my brush across the room’s canvas
My arms move with their own rhythm
And I have to swipe sweat from my face.
I step back to observe my work.
White walls glare back at me.
In defeat, I realize that my walls
Were white underneath the paint.
