Pieces of Eight

We never conceive the greatness of our fates. - Thoreau

shovel after shovel

beneath the shaky foundation of blind faith's dubious hovel

jingling

mingling

tingling

shingling

dribbling

quibbling

scribbling

orphaned with a sibling

unearthing

listening

glistening

foreshadowed destiny or besotted fate

i hear the exhumed sound of

pieces of eight

Author's Note

"Absolutely speaking, Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you is by no means a golden rule, but the best of current silver. An honest man would have but little occasion for it. It is golden not to have any rule at all in such a case." - Thoreau
