Axis & Asses

what they’re into
conceited enough to imagine
is what’s happening
is what’s going on

they turn the volume
of what they’re doing up
for everyone to hear
so no one will be deprived
or left out

what they are playing they imagine
is the center piece of existence
when already there’s the trinity
when the earth already has its axis

asses, upstarts, wishing to impose
some agenda, just rigged up upon us

when the center piece of life
is distilled silence,
is quiet prayer
