Shop small

On Thanksgiving a guest said he understood the color of our guest bathroom when he saw the mirror frame made from potato chip bags.  The orange came first.  We looked a long time for that mirror. Then... there it was.  We continue to shop small.  We never know what we'll discover.

Today I will shop small,
Engage the artisans
From around the world:
The one 
Who crafted the frame
Of our bathroom mirror
From potato chip bags,
It perfectly matches
The high-gloss orange
On the walls;
The one
Who made
The orange peel angel,
It hangs from the lamp switch
On my office desk;
All the ones,
All those ones
Who see the world
Through different eyes,
Know that orange peel,
Potato chip bags,
Hold even the wealth of possibility
To match
Our bathroom walls.
