"Tools (of the trade?)" - sketch
"More to life..." such was spat from the teeth of of the "gifted and talented" only some stunted years past,
Still to date I've attempted reasoning with such a quip (was such for jest? ...surely not more than so?)
Rasping viscerally through countless layers does such a disdainfully flung phrase weather,
Surely such had been flung haphazardly, with vague carelessness, was ...in jest?
I waver unconvinced, muted, and some three and a half years hence, afloat...
I have slid afore the fleshy palms of countless artisans of the craft for whom,
Such a vocation has filled the minds, the plates, the hearts of scores and scores...
Such crafts have shod many a foot and arched aching hearts for which,
Nought has held true for a year or two, or more, a life or more...
"More to life..." ...said she.
For my thin flesh.. she is not to blame; nor should, nor will, she be named.
Zealots of insight may the fervent be for and unto their own,
I for one may have professed my adhesions to more or less those in-firm
..
Threads stretch out now...
More is yet to come in the form of that, to those few...
who may fidget & twist to a scent askew,
which could tickle loose the visceral wattles of the birds
who would but smile prior to acknowledgment.
Apologies for the delay; although, those who would require such, and read thus far...
...more delusion; I fathom that it is simply some peak a la pique... piquant; avast!
