The Folly of Man Birds
#6
Oh' to be a bird and fly! (why the apostrophe???)

freedom,
soaring above mortal toil (yawn cliched mortal toil ' why not 'sordid soil')

fleeing in altitudes- (maybe ascending in place of fleeing for spiritual oomph)
the gravity of the mundane

escaping the grinding down (hmmm maybe 'escaping the granulated hours'????)
of a measured life

what chance of flight now (question mark???)

thirty five summers
then consumed of dust ('by' in place of 'of')

Psalm 39:4
LORD, make me to know mine end,
and the measure of my days,
what it is; that I may know how frail I am. (just like the guy that got to see the grail huh?)


cool and cruisy -compliments
My Muse, to labour chained
demure, pure, restrained
may yet escape -
i'll grab his cape
and hitch-hike to new planes
