How is your scaffolding

Your foundations?

Social background

Education

And everything else

That makes up the equation

That is,

Confidence

Where does it come from?

Past

Present

Future

Tense

Will age and experience

Fill in the gaps

Or still will I need,

To paper over the cracks

More glue

And make do

Improvisation

On the move

Just to be at ease

To break through

Like reading a poem

Out loud to you

This is part of the process

Confidence

As with most of us

It is a work in progress.
