i’m in a circle, going ’round and ’round

it seems to me
that two pi r
has gone to where
too few would dare
and pi r squared,
it also seems,
is loathing some
where in between
so all the way
around i see
the point; it has
come back to me
and covers lots
of ground within
to ponder to
my own chagrin

Complacency

We know that
Everybody has one
And we all make excuses
Every single person has
An evil friend

We also know
The day is long
And, too, the night is short
How can we ever live without
Our evil friend

We do things
That we should not do
We don’t do things we should
We struggle yet accommodate
That evil friend

We rarely challenge
And sometimes, too
We all become
Some other’s
Evil friend

‘Cause we all know that
Everybody has one
Why? We don’t quite know
But every single person has
An evil friend

Industriousness Betrayed

of thinking why
to work or not –
to be the driving force
or not the source of energy

inertial stage remains intact
until upon it acts
an outside force
an independent source – it
will move
then and only then
and never gains momentum
