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
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.
