You sit convinced, half known


You sit convinced, half known
Pretense too mean to rest
A tattooed tin man blown
Oiling for the test

An errant son restores the knight
Into the woods displace, deploy
An unreeled arbor out of spite
A carbine's chamber toy

A giant loosed retains this right
The sling admits no slip
And broken pump lust might
Tap out the virgin clip
