Different Life

I am a pelegrin 

All binding things which blind to faith and glamourize earthly states I have burnt

The peregrin headed south, swearing to take no left turns

On peregrinations heard mouths doubting heaven, giving their all to appalling sermons

They know not what serpent they serve

Still receive what they deserve at the coming of his kingdom

Which preserves nothing which came before

Saw line-browed ledbeteres working leather with bone awls

Apprentices, as like youngest sons, fettered by tradition, make impressions of boiled leathers

Scribble measurements in ledgers

Water threshes at glowing steel

Meshes of ringmail hang on ceiling hooks or crooks of antlers

Observed a mouse dragging its tail, tattooing what appeared letters on the lectern of the earth

My tattered brown robes, windblown, are ripped now

No oaths take I, no swearing on crossed heart

Christ names on pain of eye loss, as Odin forcing knowledge

Full knowledge distends one’s mind

It climbs upon it and where it rides, almost gliding, find a slime trail slug-wide 

Six years at college to call yourself a Master

I dropped out of school, and make so much money my friends call me bastard

Foreknowledge contents though, what comes much like what goes.
