Engineer

To destroy him without cause
To swallow him up according to our laws
Glad to be back to my companion and her four paws
One for our Eliphaz to whom God gives strength
As well as Bildad, son of contention
I'm not going to miss church
Ten minutes and I'll be out the door
Refining my Bessemer steel
The skin of my thumb
We're going to get there
Another engineer finds his way
Our practical application
Of science did mathematics
As in designs of construction
For the eyelids of the morning
Time to wake up and see...




Ballpoint
11-29-15

The sermon was right up my dark alley
Of contrivance and its expedient
As the essential ingredient
To bring about my plan and manage
Or at least just cope
Another ballpoint and another blank page to anoint
I don't know where to begin again or where to turn
Because I have so much more I need to learn
For Joel meaning Jehovah is God
Yes, this is a real name
As one of our fundamentals
Lucky for me I can set myself aside
And be happy for them
By my conscious choice
What the chewing locust left
The consuming locust has eaten
Our image and optical counterpart  makes it real....
