Alles In Ordnung

I like things square
They are not that way
Where they are laid
Thus begins another day
With knife and blade
I carve them square

Another day, another example
And I begin anew
Carving the ambiguous
Into submission for
Ease and convenience
In pursuit of efficiency

Yet another day passes
Before I realize
That I live in a house where
Ambiguity reigns despite
Endless attempts to
Influence the shape of things

The knife lies dull
With disuse and disregard
Of square in favor of
Simple disarray in the
Face of obstinacy of those who
Care not about Alles In Ordnung
