For The World Is Flat
May 10, 2013
Oh, so flat,
to see for years,
in any direction
Our convoluted criss cross, search
ing for faster-
easier,
contact. Far beyond the rust
of telegraph light speed-
the meshing of
idea
and word shipshape
only
through young, clear, eyes.
As I am, I am Columbus,
but the world wheels inward on me-
And now the world is round.
I have reached India, however, now the world is hollow.
I, need...
I,Columbus
must
touch the sky.
