because this poem insisted even if does not have anything worthwhile to say and is fumbling for it's pockets

For words full of crumbs,

from its seams.

Here is “grace”, full of lint

and “courage” and some thread

of “hint”

Here is “purpose”—

take the proffered “tender”

the bit that it fell with..

oh that is “breathe”

take it.
