an engineering rush (vii)

fixed feet acentre
holy brights above
cycling

father king and retinue
great source and chased
cycling

but they don’t quite
imperfect though correctable
cycling

they double back
a helter skelter loop–the–loop
cycling

not cycles but epicycles
the complexity’s correctable
imperfect though correctable
the solution works
enough for farm demands
but the raw inelegance
is flaw
cycling

people died for
sweet and simple elegance
dogma demanded rough error
the coarse condemned the better truth
cycling
