The book of Laments.

Lamentation
is a three sided occupation
that we're all occupied with.

Triangles are a turn on
for this Pythagorean.

I find connections in the unlikeliest of places
I always have done, though
this third son of a second son never made it past
the seventh grade.

Sometime time expired when the meter reader's tired
and the perimeter is the limiter and the brain goes into overdrive
then it's difficult, but I will survive and the
black and white is cruising
down another memory lane
and hearing a blast from the past,
thinks it's a gunshot.

It runs on under steam and in the steam
the fogs of dreams, I've seen
where ***** grinder's monkeys grin

In the unlikeliest of faces where a kindness lurks,
good works have been orchestrated.
