Plausible Math History
A traveler in ancient Greece
traversed a broad town square.
A bottle of mead was waiting there.
He considered the flight of geese,
and those brimming honey-wine kegs.
He was, at first, at quite at a loss,
until, he thought, "I'll go straight across,
avoiding the triangle legs".
How far did go on the path not bent?
Our traveling friend (Pythagorus)
invented something for

Hey! hi! A plausible blessing
A poets taste buds are a lonesome place
When threatened by alien interface
One must strap in for emergency brace
To sample the menus thrown at our face
Hey! hi! recipes can never outshine
True creativity's rare soulful divine
Of course, one may pair with fine vintage wine
After ten long sips - all will be just fine
As knowledge advances, we shirk

Passing Through Art In a Plausible Idea
whose work is this, you think you know.

they stare back from the mirror pane &
get inside you, festering in your brain.
the tools are used, the pen it writes,
the brush it paints, the keyboard types &
between those dreams you illustrate

Plausible Denial
T'is politics where man excels,
for it protects the lies they tell.
Of pomp and ceremony he employs,
voters manipulated like children's toys.
Wars are started, a game of chess
and religion does so happily bless.
Sons and daughters sent far to protect,
with allowances made for only the select.

Barely a Plausible Brew
There's a stiffness in the wind
swallowed, muffled, antique air
recirculating all to bare
so let us now begin...
There's a storm in summer sun
broken glassed and rumbling still
breaking you against your will

There's a whisper in the breeze
hollowed, suffered, trembling voice
you have it now, it is your choice
but suddenly you freeze...
There's a shudder in the lake
rippled sadness
