Speedball

Don’t know which way the cards will fall
Rolling up, in black
Or wiping it back?
 
Can’t figure out which way to go
Relief prints or intaglio?
 
Gamblin? Graphic Chemicals?
Cranfield? Charbonelle? Speedball?
Water-based or oil-based?
Oil-based or water-based?
 
Can’t figure out which way to go
Multi-plate or monochrome?
 
I can’t decide which end I prefer
The scraper or the burnisher?
 
Positive or negative?
Negative or positive?
Schminke? Caligo? Speedball?
Derivan? Graphic Chemicals?
 
Don’t know which way the cards will fall
Rolling up, in black
Or wiping it back?
 
I can’t decide which end I prefer
