    The Poems-

    Dirt drifts in the wind

    piling up like like poems

    waiting for rain

    to become glorious mud

    Mud in your eye

    the jealous eye of the beholder

    resting in splendid repose

    an eyestalk tall

    extruding meters from the ground

    where AI may see all that can be

    Myriad creatures scurry and worry

    fretfully finding crumbs

    adequate for never-when

    never known

    particles of dust

    in the wind to begin

    Clinging to wheels mud is the deal

    it shapes mysterious norms

    conforms all blings to ring tone echoes

    raps that whir

    howling through sagebrush

    cowboy poetry ranched

    punching cattle

    Greenest tiny growth

    grass emotes

    everyplace like an ocean

    rearranging tan, sallow yellow bricks of colors

    closest things to freeze dried dead

    past punchers placed patterns

    breaking trails for electronic fences

    mending meaningless dividers for gold coins

    To spend or not to spend

    that is the question

    weather it is colder hailing

    or enduring outrageous rain

    dirt doth show the snow

    the way to flow

    with freezes past

    left to the summits of myths

    Clods of time compacting past

    warm flatness of high desert plains

    with mountains able lost tectonic orogeny

    well rounded to host remorseless dirt

    electrostatic strong force brethren

    coating fields with fixed sentient things

    pretending rhymes with reasons

    presence need be and become

    tomorrow

    with the will to outlast lush

    verdant urges that overcomes senses

    wherein politics rush

    social piles of bones built

    Nemissoolatakoos

    overcome by the great spirit’s rivers

    -Heraclitus never stepping in the same Universe

    twice.

    The final boss

    goat poet prospects grazing

    the field of dreams where raising

    with dross sludge of poems befudged

    are myriad cantilevered verses breathing

    with life given from amateur hopes

    beside Browning, Yeats, Keats and Pope

    One final toss

    a shimmering sonnet

    the dark lady’s legs

    below the mysterious bonnet

    Wallace Steven’s insurance

    provides countless sharp notes

    to Wesli Court’s forerunning peer

    the final boss;

    William Shakespeare.

    Would a dictum de omni for Gödel's paradigm

    fill a set of all sets with doubts laid to rest?

    satisfy a build up with many theories and means

    parameters for testing material scenes

    like 256 forms of syllogistic A, I, E, O dreams

    where just twenty-four valid ones form proper tests

    and reply with lyre's ballad rhymed lyrics

    everything in the cosmos proves to critics

    whirring levels of black-bird spun trees

    chastise silence to spring quantum string mystics.

    Gluons spin to light

    massless tie-ins to the right

    Africa's prime flight

    Quarks dreamt on the coast

    so much to learn; time is toast

    -being is not trite

    Gravity’s away

    while life grows another day

    the end not in sight.

    If it spins

    it was spun

    for every hard thing had begun

    hard links

    soft links

    more was to the better

    God was good

    Good is God

    God is good

    Good was God

    isosceles tri-angles became silky seashells

    broken down and weathered

    pretenses of past tensors

    even while waves signed

    inventions abode

    with conjecture and levers.

    Phatend up universes

    expand from morrows

    bigger with life

    depletin so much sorrows

    A point a pint pitchin quick gillies

    placin new shots with barbed tonguing grillins

    shocked monkey'd Ukrainian landers

    wicked war chordites confoundin lost peace plans

    Too wild sprung all-go-rythms

    carry up more nonce sense

    directly illustrating singularity talk

    unto crenelated ears.

    S-What is justice and piety Euthy?

    E-It’s what is fair and just, and God loves it.

    S-I see; God loves it because it is just and pious or is it pious and just because God loves it?

    E- Were you smoking crack in gaol Socco? Those seem like pretty fine hairs to split.

    S- Indeed one soul in gaol had some fine green yet I did not inhale for I have been charged by Miletus, a youngster with a scraggly beard and a hooked nose, with corrupting youth and inventing false gods of science for the masses to worship with legal dope and free brothels for everyone.

    E-None of that is true, plainly.

    S-Plainly.

    E. Now what is justice?

    S-You don’t know Euthy?

    E-Just saying, if you remember, because crack makes you forgetful, or is that age? Never mind; piety is doing the will of God in all things because God is good.

    S- Is God good because he is God, or God because he is good?

    E- God is a great mathematician that built the Universe with math. Everything is a triangle or a portion of something like that; strings, quarks, gluons; you know; a math Universe.

    S-So sin is to provide wrong answers to questions involving the underlying order of the Universe?

    E-Certainly. Would you like me to be your instructor?

    S-Yes Euthy, I
