Cubits a Way
What once was sweet

Premium Member Giant Goliath Smitten
Goliath*, mighty giant

Against young David he was defiant

With God’s strength triumphantly prevailing 

Goliath, smitten by David; forever in defeat, ailing.

*1Samuel 17:4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

and we dress mostly in grey
steam locomotive whistles
daily puncture our thought balloons

forty shekels and forty cubits
and thirty pieces of silver
the number of mosquitoes
skating on the rain barrel
a marching panorama
of numbered cards
sometimes, a Joker!
a fire or a drunken brawl...
