satisfaction
is a mysterious concept
if people are too pleased
with less than expected
we think they have failed
like disappointed parents
necessity is your mom
a childhood friend found me
on facebook, said he thought
i was sure to be brain surgeon
perhaps i would've been
under a different system

today i did a simple
thing
it took me years to learn
squared off a patch of scrap
laid it down over holes in floor
traced its shape in pencil
plunge cut with circular saw
finished corners with multitool
shaved edges on tablesaw
then finally fit it
tight enough not to screw
i know it goes against the grain
but that's part of its charm
