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
