Paradox

7/20/16 Took a loss And paid the cost By not thinking outside the box Stopped To reflect and clear my thoughts Near and outcrop of rocks At the mountaintop Got back to the spot At five o'clock Took off my shirt and socks Because it was one hundred and three degrees hot Next day there was brush to be moved and squashed As well as lumber to be chopped Some of which was dry and soft Near and far from any moss People praying daily by a cross Cut from the same or a different cloth Close or away from the docks And any yachts Only had silver, never a golden watch Oh well, it may or may never be bought Depending on if it it's something I truly want I'm connecting the dots So I can become a boss During any equinox And paradox Still need to make a lot No time to talk Especially to the cops In lands where people work with ox As well as horses that may drink out of a trough And at the first sign of night in comes a wave of moths Overhead there flies and soars different types of hawks Also on and in the trees are nests of wasps While in some dens are families of fox By: Dalton Ogletree
