I met a man
who had no clothes
He was in the business
of making
buttons.

With my fishing string
and silver ring
He met me
when I needed
nothing.

A bullet-holed square
made of wood
made with care
arrived in the mail
today.

I met a man
who had no clothes
He was in the business
of making
the connection.

Stanza 3, line 3 should be 'made with care'. Except for that, I like it. :)

Thanks and I'm glad. :heart:

It was a piece I had to get out.
Feels like I was just plinking on a piano. :)
