for a crust of bread

i've had shovels

in my

hand, an ax,

a rake, a broom.

a hammer,

a chisel,

a screwdriver or two.

i've held heat

guns

and drills, power

saws,

and sanders, paint

brushes,

and nail guns,

broad knives, just to name

a few.

whatever it's taken

to get the job

done, i've done.

for a crust of bread there

was little i

wouldn't do.
