White

White porcelain plate,
Clean as a whistle,
Do you know why you are smooth?
Swallowed by glaze,
Smothered with thistle,
Colors so delicate blue.

White porcelain plate,
Speckled with unction,
Do you know why you are tainted?
Helping to sate
Voracious functions
Therefore with grease you are painted.

White porcelain plate,
Fractured in fractions,
Do you know why you are shattered?
Tragic mistake
Slip of an action
A clumsy, bumbling matter.
