Practical Poetry

Lives of our own
chooses
plattitudes
of new lessons,
a map unto themselves
painted in towns
revealing
we Solarians.

choose
a cat
choose
mortgages
choose
9-to-5 jobs
choose
life

plattitude
such as this
serve up
tied with bow
microcosms
to unwrap

lessons learned
need remembering
so a rhyme
may remind

as maps unto themselves
with landmark words
and paths of action

towns
populate
with blocks
of such thought
in struggles
to survive

revealing
truths
we hold
to be self-evident

We Solarians
live in
microcosms
reminded with
landmark words
populating
evidence.
