Mechanics often throw the book away
And to a better job the engine dreams
But selling the engine of your thoughts
Has people who prize a good logbook

Not a finely tuned engine
Taking ideas from afar
But pleasing someone
Who thinks boring

Is best seen close
And examined
And caressed
And minutely examined

For thinking is like given meat to a Dicken's character's soul
And all that is left for them to do
Is to ask for more from the hole

And I wonder how I knew the thread but lose often everything because it was the night

It is the essence of me and the writing but like a photgraph it is an exposure of a duration, sensitivity and remarketing after you turn the snaps in and find the embarassment of what you felt was good

Not a negative comment, believe it or not, just I suppose an understanding of life

Very good write.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.
