Across The Universe
On our parallel planet,
there are pictures of rude health:
the sun bathing in moonshine,
sheep, or something like them,
basking in grass, the low
drone of the bees kept to the minimum
level of decibels, like the bombers
as they press their thumbs
on the pulses of throats, and shoot
at the stars. Oh look, it is
something moving.
