Stitched Pages

A glue and a saliva
Couldn't hold the lava
     The climax of the data
     The core of the matter
     The part of the bone more fatter

A tail and a head
Couldn't contain the bread
     The daily breast
     Flowing the daily breath
     Sighing in wider breadths

A nail and a hammer
Couldn't spread the chips
     The cellular sips
     The infinitesimal whips
     The silent lips

A staple and a stitch 
Seemed to give the stretch
     Of the deepest trench
     Of the biggest wretch
     Of words more than a sketch
