The Unbeatable Me


Beating the unbeatable me,
the me who speaks about it
all the time
Asking itself for a handout

While the sandstone's occupied
grinding the thin metal blade,
there it is 
Chatting with the cutlery

If the hand stops, 
it takes a moment quietly
to make sure
Nothing needs interrupting

Silent at this harlequin,
consumed by its details
a gazer
Seldom agitated by sultriness.
