Woodwork, or: Far from the tree

A limerick

Respected for both mind and might,
The nails he hit lost every fight;
So, where had I come from?
His son who was all thumbs
Knew only to dream and to write.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
