“I Am an Ax”


“I Am an Ax”
 
Cji
9/19/13
 
Going to the woods to cut trees
many and awesome to fall
oaks, cherry, ash, popular
caring not type or even size
chop, Chop, CHOP I’ll do
relentlessly destroying all
but wait if I am an ax only
then none of this can I do
for without the woodsman
I’m nothing more than innate
unable even to move about
glumly recognizing failure
going to the woods to cut trees!
