I'm a captured tooth nerve amalgam appeased restrained in containment by my keeper then I can be a prisoner escaping the jail my warder has lost the keys of control on dark days my fathoms swirl in murky mass infused with blinding kelp on good days my porthole shows clearness of eye the glass reflects well just to confuse my ores composition is misunderstood the translation metamorphic changing minute by minute hour by hour these ones are buggers my microscope isn't good with definition will I or wont I who knows my borders are contested being diplomatic I make pacts and treaties no monicker is required the tried and tested gentleman's agreement that will do my margins can be thick or thin comments fit in usually they range between insult and praise depending on the mood I oft go to open cut mines to find common minerals which are useful on a daily basis real effort is called for when I delve into deep shafts sometimes gems are quarried precious ones to behold well enough said a letter is to be written dear meditative home we're returning soon if we're delayed after hours p.s. leave the porch light on
