If these stones could talk
would they
could they
speak of bravery or
attest to base treachery
of conceit and deceit
where these souls have walked
reliable confusion
shatters the illusion
the clock strikes four
and the crowd calls out
for more hair-raising adventures
looking for advice
looking for mentors
as students mock their education
and prefer to learn powers
of persuasion
Will there be a happy occasion
to spark a flame of joy in the nation
do we need to win a game
or rise to glory and
achieve world-wide fame
arising from pivotal gyrations
the planet turns
eskatologically speaking
the court finds this in keeping
with high minded predictions
and a charge of popular addiction
going home to watch Mr Spock
on the science fiction channel
and the approved news with their
expert panel
tryin to get a handle
on the day's evaluation
of my own situation
