Literally!

A little literal

Like a forklift

Lifting a crate of forks

(Thanks Mitch)

Sometimes over the edge

A lack of imagination

Some call it

Maybe a stack of insecure

More accurate?



Picture confidence as a set

In a spaghetti western

Looks impressive from the front

But damn if that plywood ain't flimsy

Shaking elm is still just timbers

Let the tremor slide

It's the things you can't see

That do the most damage

When the brace cracks

Imperceptably

It's just as broken as if it had been hatcheted

But it's trying oh so hard

Too hard

The strain will win



So how to remake strength?

More cheese than a cheese shop

Figuratively speaking, of course

That quaint motion of brushing teeth

Mocking but amused

Words to curl toes and redden ears



In their truth comes

A backbone of titans

The arms of Atlas

And a heart like mine

All for you
