all work
The hard dirt is my home
This plastic bag is my fortress
And I, the King of Craft
Watch as I turn misery to apathy
and tears into text
The best of friends have lent me silence
and I matched their bets
As I lay in my dirt bed
I shape the veins in my hands into complex threads
I simply hope I age with grace
and not a mess of ill regrets.
