'NO REGIMENTATION': A POEM ABOUT A MODEL OF PIRAN BY NIKA'S TINY HOUSE...

No Regimentation

(inspired by a model of Piran in Slovenia by Nika’s Tiny House)

There is no regimentation,

No cloned construction, or neat lines,

Or rows, verified as the 'boxes checked’;

There is no repetition,

No consigned instruction, or myriad signs,

Or order, specified as the ‘duplicate effect’… 

There is individuality,

A vivid cluster of colourful structures

And shapes, defined by its heritage;

There is infallibility,

A vibrant muster of textures

And life, refined by its patronage…

This model is so not like the rows of cloned homes we are used to and the curiousness of the town, with its complete lack of regimentation makes it a place I want to investigate…
