In Laziness Begot Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Of verses
In laziness begot
offspring of such conduct
things
round evolve
and turn
but then
your hurl thoughts from
the Tarpeian rock
of your brain that ticks:
it has gone back
back to its Geological Period old
where ticking as the hammer
so many times was its mold:
pressures
and lakes and cataclysms
openings earth
closing and movements
and temperatures of fire
flying through
the burning boughs of
giant trees.
