Notes About The Poem

I cannot figure out how to make the 8 words bold. I never have figured this out. It is way too difficult. I can say what order they are in if I need to. 

If I Had a Bevel

If I had a bevel
to mark my right angles, 
in the limestone of the quarry of my mind,
I would be pondering 
a life to be envied.

I would make a resolution 
to adhere to the sinkhole
of madness that collects
in unclear images in my 
capable dendrite hold.

If there was a fragment 
of possibility that I had
retained a tiny piece of 
leverage from this hunting,

I would shore up that sinkhole
which hints at an illusion of a
possible psychosis. 

If only I had a bevel, but sadly
they are in short supply in
my current stage.  

So I shall retain and enjoy my
current level of comfortable, 
honest, well-understood 
derelict madness.
