Morning insinuation as two enter twain;
one leather to sole and the other the same.
Step for step in sync till end,
each unshod again for night's sweet dream.

Knowledge, learning, and science cannot e'er reverse
naive belief in scary prophesy.
Nostradamus' allegedly prophetic verse
Entrances those whose eyes will not yet see.

The equinox heralds a time of change
With new-sprung minds unleashed upon the sands.
An orgy of activities most strange
Precurse the looming time of the exams.

At first a joy, then "thunder-thighs."
Dear woman, this I know, 'tis true;
You'll soon be half your size.

It may be inspiration, it may be lust
But, a seed when planted, grow it must.
It's inside you without a doubt
And no matter your reluctance, it will come out.

At work, a problem rears its horn-ed head,
Regardless who's at fault the end's the same:
The date unknown, one starts each day with dread,
Because one day, one of us gets the blame.

When fishermen cast off in early morning light
And fish according to the ancient seafaring rite
When they make offerings to keep the gods on their side
Then, Poseidon will reward with low and high tide.

The happening will come as it always has, sent from the baby Urion.
A slight ripple in the day to day effect, the undeniable request.
To avoid, consequences would be disastrous; you must uphold the will.
Obey the adult, Orion; the precept of urination.

The seats shall all sell where the beerage doth flow
The aged field of Wrigley where the crowds still do go
The boys of summer shall there make their stand
And choketh again by some malign cosmic hand

Urgent moment in between
Organized strokes have just begun
Satisfaction when you reach your destination
