Won't you help support DayPoems? Going to GroundBy Joe Duvernay21st CenturyAnd the marketplace shouldered the load, As a main contingent excluded What sacrifice people, the masses endured To keep the thing afloat. Surrey not for those stepping back a bit From the high-times high-living meant To surround, They shall cousin each other smaller Anecdotal pieces of what stripped pie And less gluttony, the press of greed, Salutary in accident and final campaign screening That altogether wears out, wears down Will be seen to anchor while uprooting's too Wince, but slam not our offers to ground; Untitled, un-fixed. Say to those encountering along a road, Some worn path on the ground, Say why in truth the lot is full And the `tub without bottom.' The lot; full of penitents! Tub; holds not a drop And Lord knows the anvil is a dent In it's solid use and hammer invents a case Could extract alembic truth From whatever is loaded on screen To sift and sieve lives through To ground!
