The more

Slow things change deep

Craft skills carve emotions

Around the intellect

Around the mountain

The mind we perceive

The life we live

Unlike all others

Yet quantifiable

Like beans

We have been

What more to it

What more complex

Solutions to swallow

To regurgitate

To masticate

Direct indirect

A broadside

A lift, a fall, a climb

Downward slides

when we reach

The end.
