And I've yet to get it into a poem.
Can you tell us what it is?
Chal.
I have something called Chal to the Grit.
Chaw, C-H-A-W-L.
I used to be a machinist, and it just seems like the right word for when metal and a tool bit comes up against metal, but it sort of stutters across it.
Yes.

Why not?
There needs to be a word for that.
Yes, yes.
Right.
So I'd like to add one to the dictionary, just one.
The Scottish word makar or maker, the idea of making.
