Dead Man’s Tools

I have a few, purchased from estates.

Two men come to mind, I knew them both, suicides as

it turns out. As I use their tools I cannot but think of

them. So in some measure men live on in other men’s

minds. But who doesn’t know that and why do I bother

to mention it?

It could be, that to this day I find their tools as rock

solid as the men that owned them.
