     a rife marvel in the sky
          an axiom of one’s smile

Short Verse 
Under a sand stone 
I found the unvarnished truth 
Alas it was subjective
Not a gold hued axiom 
A truth void of arguments...

The more we know, the more there is to know
An axiom that has held true for a century or so
But I have an advantage
Brain cells have vanished
So I absolve myself of the blame for stuff I didn't know...

Some things in life are like falling off a log
Like eating and sleeping, like walking in a fog
Cept some days fall short
It's then we must resort
To the age old axiom, “A squeeky wheel annoys the dog!”...

Listen to poem:

An axiom soon for a dairy truck, as it ambles,
The yellow school bus full of rambunctiousness,
A watched clock tower crowds fate gambles,
The unsteady quietude of the unconsciousness,
The core of crazed vs amazed is its ridiculousness.

Versifier - A communion.


The sacrifice, adore, psalms - divine,

Inner devotion is emotion, commotions of thought,

Truth - from estranged proverbs, severe afflictions of the sacred heart,

Verity is fact, the axiom domain,

The path - flames of sentiment,

A sacred grail, of poured emotions....

There it was loud on the intercom
“Please come to the office, Tom’
And just like a bad sitcom
They dropped the bomb
No discussion just a blunt axiom
Told to grab his pompom
And march off to Guam
To retrieve a precious rhomb
Tom was in quite a conundrum
So he went home and chanted Om

In this murky swamp
Where oxygen cannot creep
Dark is the blood of children 
Playfully allowed sleep
Westward facing 
A new front of tears
Delivers misfortune 
To their black masked fears
The axiom of power
Opens and closes its hand
And with casualty 
It makes a casual demand 
To take sword to justice 
With swift stroke to limb
And lullaby the young
With tales of grim....

Wise words will
Taut true till


Bloom bright boast
Taste tough toast


Feel form face
Thrill tough trace


Toil tells time
Charm crisp chimes


Live laughs lost
Craze carves cost


Lift lost lines
Feel faith fine


Set stern sway
Work walks way


Brave brisk break
Sign swift stake


Mind moves make
Touch treats take

Josiah conquers revisionists
by stating an old-world axiom:

     “When seeking structure,
     one must be mindful of decay.”

He taps a rusted column with
an ordinary wooden cane,

releasing decades of oxidation
in particulate dust.

As his nephew secures the wire
on the final shape-charge

a tear wells with nostalgia
and sympathy for the hobbled

until the flurry of blasts
at zero....

An axiom I heard once states:
If you always do
What you've always done,
Then you'll always get
What you always got.

To paraphrase and reiterate:
What's worse,
Waking up one morning
And realizing you're not
What you hoped you'd be,
Or realizing you still are
What you always were?

Tack on this wisdom to round out the plot:
You can only do the best you can,
So remember as you start each day,
Tomorrow hasn't happened yet,
And yesterday is best forgot....
