Lost World

Dumb means mute
Kids are small goats
Am I becoming
That old person?
A semicolon’s
Better than a comma splice
President of the United States
Is always capitalized
Unlike another mention
Of a president

Defensive driving
Is a good thing
People should know
The lyrics of the first verse
Of the national anthem
And the lyrics to
One Christmas carol
(take your pick)
All is not lost in lost traditions,
I suppose;
I made that last one up
x
No re-creating the world
In my image,
Thank the Lord
(thank you)
It took me a while
To learn “whom” from “who”
So I’m going to use it
But I don’t mind
If you don’t,
Which is mostly true

The Lost World is a story first by Arthur Conan Doyle, then by Michael Crichton who used the title as a tribute and allusion, as I am using the title here.

Supplicant

Well, it’s early and I’m up
What shall you have for me,
Dear Lord?
What might I do for you?
Nothing, I think, that’s
Worthwhile
All right, that’s worthy
What do I have to contribute to a
God?
No gold, no blood-letting
(sorry)
Nothing awful
That might have been awesome
Only me and the wretched qualities
I have—
That grace has saved
For a wretch like me—
Can offer
Most of the time, I don’t know
What these are
Help me, Lord,
To understand
What I have that could ever
Please, if not
Satisfy
