Behold
the vise now reposing here at The Odd Fellows
that we made with welded angle-iron
and a scrapped steel tire wheel
around 1980
Many an object did we fashion on this
tool doubling as an anvil
and acetylene steel-cutting holder
Life itself is a matter of firm grips
and a holding-on
is it not?
Sometimes we hang on by our fingernails
