my hunger
for knowledge

The more

Circular Saw
In the late fall
After apple picking and around thanksgiving
When the leaves started
To fade from green to red
We’d hook up the PTO from the old Deere
To a massive circular saw
Like something out of a cult horror movie
Coated in flaking layers of leaded rust paint
And under a cloud of diesel exhaust
And the slow blue smoke
From a constant

CIRCULAR REASONING
The round hole rolls on
Cursed by its inability
To accept the square peg
Perhaps it was fear of corners
For he had visited a square hole
And was mocked for his lack of angles
He learned later that the circle is complete
Fully accepting of all angles
Without favoring any
However, he is still unsure
Which slot Tab A should be inserted into

Whirl of Wisdom for Knowing
How is it that you know it?
A spark, a flash, a sudden thought,
Is it that you know how?
In the silence, wisdom links ought.
Know you how it is that?
You know it is that how?
That is how you knew it!
When was it that you knew it?
A moment caught in time's swift motion,
Was it that you knew when?
Beneath

No Thought For Today Part 2
I
I arose with a grateful heart
Disciplined by the Scripture
I lack the smarts or the art
To fake it till I make it, Sister
II
When I have done daily devotions
Talked & prayed with passers by
And still feel sad, no explanations
I stop thinking: say prayers from memory
## I am grateful for any question, Victors today, as we whivstudy theology,

A Circular Tree
Very often I
mess my thoughts up
As at the moment
I believe I am a circular tree
trying to offer shadow
An umbrella the birds
inside me asking for
but to no avail
Whenever I attempt at
the sun dims
I am afraid
if it's dimmer
All my dreams will die
No dreams no coffee

Sacred Lines and Circular Spaces
Minds can draw dividing lines
in different natural spaces
sacred special uniting places
for secular powering chases.
Nature makes poles
and power polarity,
holes
and light circularity,
bright yangs
and dualdark yintegrity
Which spirited minds refine
and natural bodies define
but integrity is not image confined
by these cooperatively determined lines
back through universally wealthy loves
uniting healthy interweaving lives.
We make cognitive distinctions
between quiet emotive attractions
and loudly ejaculative extinctions,
where feelings

Living a Circular Life
determinedly traveling around and around
traveling in a circular motion
doing the same thing daily
enjoying nothing
spinning her wheels
loudly so others can admire
no one does
Using so much energy
showing it proudly
accomplishing nothing new
stuck in a rut, that cycles like a turntable
no one suggests any more
she is determined
traveling no where
seeing the same results
never jumping off her unproductive cycle.

In the Sunshine Circular Tales In Queue
In the sunshine circular tales in queue
Silence sits on them to seek some pleasure
Sees how flies off from deep green leaves the dew
Running after blue scented looks of her
By the side of cascade I wash my face
With turquoise water from your deep dimples
Your rabbits and my rhymes are in the race
Their love casts shadows so

Circular Path
Our lives are just a circular path, the more we go forward the more we go backward. Sparing love to those who did not deserve, paying attention to things which were not worthy of, these were all we did in our lives.
The more we rush, the more tired we become, in the path which is

A Circular Affair With Care
A Circular Affair With Care
Off my feet will eventually have dried,
God had helped me ond on Him relied;
Moisture needed,
So God I heeded;
Wanted feet wet and water He supplied.

Would That Be a Chicken With Custard Or Cream and In Hexagonal Or Circular Form
A slice of is figment is not stone carved melon nor mould of moon cake nor is it moaning marbles moving momentously. It is fascinating to note that steam rolling over headlines using big heavy wheels can induce a certain amount of jelly, carbonated drinks, hexagonal fishcakes, and seaweed to jump from the cupboard climb

Circular Reality
When the head starts to eat the tail,
will you then begin to understand?
When the consumption
burns a hole in your soul,
will you then begin to perceive?
Trickle down sin
flowing back to the Garden
Adam and Eve ...
oh how innocent they were then
Eden was the birthplace of faith,
where we first started to believe
When the head reaches the legs,
will you

Life Is Circular
Life is like a wheel-circular. Take your time and learn.
Time:day to night;
Seasons: autumn, summer, fall and winter;
sleeping to waking up;
working to resting;
living things to decomposition;
sowing to reaping;
buying and selling;
selling and buying;
unlearnind bad habits to learning good habits;
Making mistakes to rectifying mistakes;
giving and taking; loving and being loved;
circular

Everything In Life Is Circular
My culture has been taken away,
I am a result of the government;
my hair dark and long
sometimes I wear it in braids,
I am of an era brought up white.
My life happy and I have been loved,
though, I always knew that I was different
and have a wildness inside of me
that could never be tamed.
