Emendation

Square pegs
don’t fit
into round holes

ditto
for round pegs
and square holes

…so it seems…

yet one day
post swollen malcontent
a saw emerged

in short order
a round hole
was roundly squared

ensuring ample leeway
for square pegs
to fit in

ditto
for round pegs
and square holes

ostensibly some believe
natural and physical
laws were overcome

…for good…but…

out of sync
with emendation
one edged forward

affirming despite tools
and wrested views
the fact remains

square pegs
don’t fit
into round holes

ditto
for round pegs
and square holes

hopefully
post swollen malcontent
no tools emerge

to square those
out of sync
with unchecked emendation.
