I am skeleton buildings and pallet furniture
I am insulated under armor
I am a loophole on repeat
I am pinto beans and pineapple rings
Consummation of voracious cultural consumption
I am a threshold
A door frame that presents the
Pretty picture of me
For the rest of the world to see
Because I am a square that moves like a circle
But squares are not supposed to move like circles
They are sturdy and unmoving
There are 4 corners
And 4 sides
4 90 degree angles
Which is the exact circumference of a circle
We are never as we appear
Because we have so much potential symmetry
