Day Ten-Napowrimo-Occam's razor

Napowrimo: our daily prompt (optional, as always). Yesterday, we looked at a poem that used sound in a very particular way, to create a slow and mysterious feeling. Mark Bibbins’ poem, “At the End of the Endless Decade,” uses sound very differently, with less eerieness and more wordplay. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that, like Bibbins’, uses alliteration and punning. See if you can’t work in references to at least one word you have trouble spelling, and one that you’ve never quite been able to perfectly remember the meaning of.

I am super glad that today's featured poem at Napowrimo is my previous poem - The Night Call. You can click the title to read)

Day Ten-Napowrimo-Occam's razor*

Partly sifting sands

Of time

Maneuvering through the clumsiness

Of decked-up shelves

Of wisdom—

*Occam's Razor: Occam’s razor is a principle often attributed to 14th–century friar William of Ockham that says that if you have two competing ideas to explain the same phenomenon, you should prefer the simpler one.

The Image is from the 1997 movie Contact. One of my favourite movies where the reference to Occam's Razor appears and that stuck in my mind ever since.
