Triolus in his sore need
beseeched and pled his case
to his friend Pindarus
Criseyde's uncle and protector
...
swish swash, squish squash
tramp and stamp, rubber shoe and galosh
slip slob, trip trod
hands outstretched to balance bod
...
Pajamas plain or full
Of colors and ornament
Worn or not at all
Tell much about
...
master mason and journeyman
left some mortar out and crumbling,
let the wind come in, and the light
seep in, between the cracks
...
If I had to choose
one without the other
compassion seems
...
Assumng
When I don't know or I'm not sure
Some beliefs melt and fade
...
leaning on trial and error
an hundred different ways
still won't get it right
or change the odds
...
Are accompanied by walking the floors
Opening and closing doors
To cupboards drawers and refrigerators.
Drooling whims of appetite
...
if I had a hammer
I'd break down the walls
of discrimination and bias
