I may not be the guru of tech
or the model for fashion
But
I can gap a piston;
cook an entire meal
in a statement iron skillet;
identify poison ivy
from English ivy;
read a clock
with hour and minute hands;
identify a dovetail antique;
appreciate the peril in “Casablanca”;
know that Bruno Mars
is the Temptations
morphed from the Impressions;
can identify a lug wrench
from a socket wrench
and
know how to place my lips
to indicate several levels
of pure passion.
