One Hundred and One Uses for Duct Tape
3. to repair almost everything
a broken porcelain cup,
the blue willow pattern,
fragments rest on bread crumbs
and spilled milk like egg shells
forgotten from the morning's breakfast
19. to close a package
a cracked porch window
in an abandoned house,
foyer and hall carpeted
with maple leaves, hazelnuts
and the scat of mice and squirrels
37. to improve a grip
a chipped green crystal vase,
the damaged reminder
of a shattered marriage,
stuffed with dusty fabric flowers
and plastic purple gladiolas
45. to slow a leak
bent spokes and rusty frame,
the seat worn to corroded metal
handlebar grips lost
when the bike was still new
and the tassels bright red
92. to hold JoLo's dress in place
