5511. GREAT FINGERS OF CHANCE

GREAT FINGERS OF CHANCE
The idea of a wrench is to stagger the bolt, break 
the silence of the metal seal  -  thread to thread, a
tight embrace. The idea of love and lust together 
combine in somewhat the same way, to hold things 
fast together. We target the maniac who runs of 
the road. 'He's gone too far this time!' 
-
Five hundred thousand broken marriages  -  what they
used to be called  -  will attest to what I say. The sundered
seeking of comfort and company; two stupid words said
once too often on an altar or a floor of convenience.
What's given short shrift is too little thought.
-
The farmer doesn't just plow his field  -  the soil is
first prepared and sweetened, cared for, and watched
after long before the harrow comes.
