Who'd A Thunk!
delicate?
hardly!
grizzled
tough
aged in whiskey
and want
living by wit
and grunt
and a natural flair for meanness
raw knuckles
broken teeth
don't belie his rock hard words

in somee strange unaccountable way
he fascinates
who can argue that at times
brute truth
is delightlfully refreshing
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
