Steady

 

Steady, like the powerful assurance of the clasp of a hand.

Smooth, as if in constant transitory synapses of unending movement.

Coarse, as the gritty sound of a needle as it is placed on old vinyl.

Heavy, with the weight of retribution.

Controlled, able to deny what is offered one freely.

Selective, always able to deny the constant offering.

Linear, like a drum beat dressed with frivolous flutes and chimes of melodic sounds.

Weakened, in fear of time and space abounding.

Tattered, resulting in concern and denial from the skeptic’s eye.

Worn, emphasizing the unsatisfactory facets born of a lifetime of indulgence.
