DEFINITIONS FOR A POET





Mitochondria: 
hope of converting the energy of verse
to sustenance the nucleus of society may use. 

Sophism:
Not the implement of deceit that it has come to represent,
Rather the Art of successful living
it came to mean in 5th Century philosophy--
or a nod to the Greek.

Onomatopoeia:
Fluidity of utterance, flowing o’er a reader’s ears,
A tete-a-tete in a sidewalk cafe
where we shall echo life’s variances,
Murmuring into each other’s ears, 

The Abrakadabra that brings hope to life.
