A Carpenter's Sargasso

I really like the chain-gang tone of hopelessness that runs throughout this piece. Numerous memorable images create high re-read value.

The process of labour here is gruelling and hard love, you always do a great job expressing reality and the depth of it!
Always an intense feel to your work!
Chilly and exhausting, great piece xx

We have just had three weeks of STOOPID cold weather here in east Texas, so I can feel your pain, bro. Though I reckon it can't be compared to the Real North, it was close enough for OUR purposes!
If you are a carpenter in fact, you need to look up Rock'n'Roll Cowboy, who is a rocker; you and he might have much in common.
How familiar the experience of looking for a tool, with gloves already so cold they have broken, and wondering if it's your fingertips that'll be breaking next! Sweet job, amigo...

"Carpenter’s Club, the four foot tall carnival tent with open bar
And naked midget women dancing in fresh mud. "
You hang in some great places. I saw many things in a life. Never a naken midget woman. I like this poem. I had to read a few times. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
