or to sit quietly by the big sheds
in the ancient light of northern Greenland?

you must take a collision course.

The Famous Planet

Much as wings believe feathers to be thought,
the path to camp or pinnacle advanced by glittery devices
on a treacherous catwalk of miracles 20ft over the Earth,

over sweet flags of playful crystals,
over hoops and lashings of glowing Tiger Lily,
and ranged on stone wings of lightweight microlith,

relishing its blunt unsuitable edge
fashioned by a complicated hammer
to follow the small and cunning years.

Ask The Oracle

Precedents are quickly spoiled,
like a cartoon snowball rolling downhill,
a catastrophe guaranteed to keep everyone in stitches.

Predictions are often doomed by someone else's stubbornness.
It seems nothing was learned,
aside from the fact that I was blatantly misquoted.

But how feeble an oracle would I be
if I had no delusional suspicions?
Disappointingly, they are not copyrightable.
