from this week in 2013 (I was 68)
Ancient history certainly began
twenty years before my birth
Half century before that inhabited
only by the dead buried in books
Before that only mythicals
who rode on beasts or borne by sail
to lands and societies unknown
And seasons were what seasons meant to be
created by the greater astronomy
We were the objects not the subject
of such incomprehensible responsibility
