my mom would yell at us and then ask
did I stutter?
and one day I was feelin’ bold - so I said yes, you did stutter
and her response was
THEN YOU HEARD ME TWICE
“Painted relief fragment depicts a carpenter squatting on a scaffolding and working on a wooden object with his adze. Contrary to custom he is shown dishevelled and unshaven.”
Occasionally you do get a non-stylised portrait popping up in Egyptian art. I wonder if this chap was someone the artist knew, or had observed. (Further to my postings of the other day, I wonder if his hair is not “dishevelled”, but afro-textured.)

Romance was never meant for people like us
quick to doubt
slow to trust
Kiss my smile before it rusts
and pray that I still love you
in the morning.
