honed every skill
tried every trick
combed every street
woke every beast
crossed every sea
tossed every dice
ate every lie
licked every wound
paid every dues
played every tune
dealt every card
took every chance
knocked every door
fought every dog
ticked every box

yet

for all my efforts
a harvest of winds

but

I keep pressing on
unrelentingly

    I like that and so many of us fight hard to get somewhere, but still live in the same situations. Great work.

      Our condition might seem the same despite the massive inputs we make, but we shall never give up. It is well.
