tool of erosion

using the tool of erosion,

it's a time-lapse skill.

with usage is,

as if attention paid.

comparisons at intervals,

hands on,

with eyes and maybe some physical rigor implied.

an aptitude for reminiscence in use.

endearment for a sense of usage,

that is, putting referencing into a format,

respectfully called a tool.

for it's a working relationship endowed.

potentially by a person, 

who could have been the family historian,

has skills at remembrance, 

as if perspective is its own coloration.

and then there is, as described,

the erosion itself.

something objectified as a standalone, 

given respect for its assistance.

a perception called out,

in the form of, 

what it, in an original sense was,

to what it, has apparently become,

and the comparative that now verbally exists,

as its observed account.

some people have it as a verbal skill,

others as a mindset, 

kept for only inner dialogue usage.

yes, age is a contributor to usage status.

but the real claim 

is not in the eyes of the beholder,

but supposedly in the object regarded,

be that a habit or a person's behavior

or a real world type of reference.

erosion is not taken to mean aging.

it is a lessening of its talent as value.

wether it was hardness of substance,

flexibility in usage,

a somehow relational appreciation,

or a lessening of benefit from.

appraisal has a timeline of diminishment. 

whatever it was, for then,

by those of then-standards,

it is now a less-than.

not that it transformed into something else

or was always in transition,

but it was epitomized for its then existence,

as otherwise perceived. 

and now, 

by the nature of a now assessment,

it is viewed in an evaluative cast, 

for a life future of a less-than.

a fixative frame is bystander applied.

memory becoming a coronation process.

judgment carries the casket of its efforts forward.

for all of us to believe

that we all have sweet memories 

of the past, 

using the tool of erosion

as a framing style,

to enhance our version

of self and passage, 

as rendered by the story we tell,

with time as an active participant 

in its referential passing . . .
