My unkind moment

He looked like he was drawn
not with a pen or a paintbrush
but with the dull wet end of a used toothpick.
A dent. An imprint.
A soft image.
Leaving behind
a flaw designed primarily
to gather dust.

    I wasn’t crazy about the original title, kept mulling it during the day. Came up with this one last night. It does seem a bit like Cruel Verse to me, so….
    Did you prefer the 1st one (Bent)…?

    No, I prefer this one, actually. Just curious.
