JOINTING BOARDS

 

Push the jointer

back and forth,

curls through the throat,

weight on right

push down in front

slide forward now,

shift weight to left

push down on back,

again, again,

a pendulum now,

right foot, left foot,

press on toe,

press on heel,

make shavings thin,

back and forth

until it’s smooth, until

it’s finished.
