mug

by. rsy

i came across an object

that people called a “mug”

some used it to store objects

others to scoop food

some to present as a gift

others to commemorate as art

some to trap insects

others to display flowers

i learned that it was designed to better sip liquid

people come across me

they call me by my name

to some i’m a recruiter

to others an asian-american

to some a relative

to others a friend

to some a former class or team mate

to others an east-coast resident

i’ve learned that I was designed to love and be loved

adhering to the original intent

of an entity brought into existence

most effectively allows it

to realize its purpose
