Axiomatic Sonnet
While we can all take inspiration from those disabled dolphins,
being laid down as a general axiom is not the pleasure that it used
to be. My rule is "Do not start to run until you know what it is
you are chasing, or what it is that is chasing you." Stet. Or did
I mean to say, "Stat"? While the rising tide lifts all boats, it is ax-
iomatic that not all boats are equally seaworthy and that those
of the poor more often tend to choose sinking to swimming when
they're down to their last two options. Her closed, convex body
cuddled close to his while in his ear she whispered, "Tithonus rising
drives away the night, and hoar-frost flees the meadows." Adopting
an axiom, of course, is no laughing matter, especially when living
in a country without universal health care, where stitches in time
don't save nine, where oil and water sometimes mix, where some-
thing ventured doesn't necessarily gain much at all, if anything.
