Tinkering

I used to work with my hands, make a living,
pulling weeds, mowing lawns, planting trees.
It was fun and heavy work but over time wore out.

I have always pulled thing apart to see how they work
most times i don't have any parts left over.

I pulled apart a toy when i was about 8
resoldered it back together so the ball would run the other.
It was a trigger pull sort of game, bit like a mini pinball machine,
I re enginered it.

I play instruments, mainly stringed things,
guitar, uke, bass, banjo those kond of strings
but i can tinker out a tune on piano or organ.

I guess we all tinker, all play, use our hands to communicate
our thoughts, hope and dreams.
For some it's words,language to be specific.

Right now that's what i'm doing tinkering away
the sound of the keys tapping tink and tap, click and clap
and I wonder what less, what's more.
