Verst
1-29-16

Of retro page
Like a bird in her cage
She wants a cracker
And I have a whole box of verse left
Seeing is not always belief
Of parsonage and rectory
For makeweight and counterbalance
Another parson for make-work
Keeping me from being idle in just this
Everything's done under the sun
Walking in a brother's shoes the extra verst
Of Russian measure of linear distance given our vent
We have time right to cut it down....





Epistolary (A Rock Once A Stone)
1-29-16

By diesel we contribute
Running in after the ignition is started off
Driven down by the rock once a stone
Cephas becomes Peter
Israel becomes Jacob
And God is in the business of changing names
As when on open throttle
Supplying fuel to the honest engine
For we are His workmanship
No longer foreigners or strangers
For epistle and archritrave of combative scope and range
I cuddle up with you to cope
And it is far from strange
Epistolary
Ambiguous....




Empirical
1-29-16

Of purview extent
And range of function power
And competence scope and range
Our experience and our outlook
To yet flatline the faith by fortune and fate be fame
Lest Hezekiah persuade you
Saying the Lord will deliver us for empiricism
And existential
You know you feel abused
I write until it's time to go
O, where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad
We come to see that it's not that bad
To deliver Samaria out of my hand
Time for that bath...
