In a Sandbox

Work right now is like playing in a sandbox. ~ Jeffrey Rollins

Remember sandboxes?
Have you played on the beach?
I've seen intricate castles,
clever creations of sand
bound only by moisture.
My sand, undisciplined,
like a toddler's drawing
beside Mona Lisa.
What's in your sandbox?
Do you find joy in shaping,
liberation in strewing?
Or is sandbox play drudgery,
another opportunity
for self-deprecation?
Do you look at a sandbox
from the inside out
or from the outside in?
