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

nonetheless,
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

who can argue that at times
brute truth
is delightlfully refreshing
