from this week in November, 2013 (I was 69)
The way we can take a dust ball
an entire microbic universe
and flush it into an alien
existence
can we doubt the scope of
cosmic disruption
that might instantaneously
occur
Having some familiarity
with Italo Calvino
I can’t help but think no
one really knows
how long we can hide under
the bed
I used to imagine all of
creation
occupying the space above
the brine
in some giant’s pickle jar
residing
on a lower shelf of a dark
cabinet
until someday when the
unknowing giant
has a taste for another
pickle
I think the results amount
to the same thing
