Carpenter

It is them
That I admire most
6AM Wired, greased
Stained, and scarred

Blunt illness
They, who soak wounds
Slit snakes
Capful in venom

Yes them
Like frequent flow
Damned to drive
In ripped t-shirts

So like them
Who work only
With swollen hands
Our heavy body ants

You Couldn't offer
Greater, All the ways
To drown, and still
It could be worse
