Poems
by KJ Hannah Greenberg

 

 

Blargh

 

Upon exclaiming a huge sorrow, one built of vitiated happenstances,

Else manky events, it’s best to ignore confidently incorrect

Exclamations, stay grounded.

 

Problematic quantums, after all, often arise from small, unimportant

Matters like spilled milk, broken eggs, incomplete cookies,

As well as burnt roast.

 

Damaged things, in general, whether brittle or robust call for intense

Care, wearying attention. Such responsibility causes anger,

Vexation, regret.

 

 

 

 

Supererogation

 

Reindeer, donkeys, besides mules, grazing proximate to shiels,

Are used for threshing, revolving windmills and waterwheels,

Also, for military service. Equally, police horses and dogs do

Not rest.

 

Performing beyond the bounds of duty often rallies images of

Tall, majestic brutes wasted ploughing, logging, pulling heavy

Loads, namely, camels, elephants, likewise, llamas, tethered to

Carts or laden with parcels.

 

Not just bullocks and buffaloes, but people, too, might, at

Times be considered for arduous jobs. Though yaks, goats

Viably get harnessed & large dogs pull sleds, people rebel,

Push away all manner of incumbrances.
