Opsimath
5-24-13
Rather than to curse the dark
I turn on a light
To yet illuminate on my opsimathic pursuits
In that I continue in all of this
Like a profession of turning wood and stubble into gold
Like a grown man reunited with a favorite plaything
Of his childhood belonging to the God
Who gives me today all things
In the opsimathy of what I can touch and see....
My Copper Age
5-24-13
In my chalcolithic times
I have written many metallurgic rhymes
To the thrashing beat I would observe
As another technique of my praise
To God whom did not pay mind to the things I believed then
In my freewill where I choose to present my alms in secret
In the suffering that no one needed to know about
In my chalcolithic times
Wherein I tossed aside all copper coins
To those willing to pick them up off the ground....
