Raking It In
They say a craftsman's only as good as his tools.
I believe it.
Oh sure, there are some, clever with hands
and able to see a way around things,
who can improvise, fix things on the fly,
get the job done despite the lack of the proper tool.
I am not so gifted.
My innovations, such as they are,
are mostly limited to the world of the unseeable.
And on those rare occasions when I find a fix
I am incapable of translating it to action.
For instance, take my rake.
Its bamboo tines are rotted, broken,
bathed too long in salttears and soil.
The spaces thus resulting gather only
char and lumps of dross
instead of what I want to save and keep.
The only fix for this is to buy a new rake.
I don't know why I haven't done it.
