An observation I made while walking through our university's industrial technology building:

On this hallway's walls
are intricately etched designs
of classic cars future and past,
lovingly wrought drawings
of guitars and saxophones
so detailed that rock and jazz echo,
do you hear? and see
the glass cases displaying
models of cars
and guitars and buildings
and even whole towns
in three dimensional wonder
and notice in the corner
stands a gray, plastic
model of a wastebasket,
two molded handles just below the lip,
and it even has a model bag liner inside,
and notice some artist has inscribed
in bold black marker
across the belly of that basket
the telling label:
"Industrial Design."
