Without e’en so much as a comb
But he fooled them all:
One day late in fall
Eloped with his bride to the Dome

Yet they cannot!
I will fly!
Out the windows
Through the floor!

You shrivel

When
Your God is too small
You shrivel
Then
Turn and see
The conflagration
In the hills
Of some planet
Light years of light years
From here
In the Real

Much of what we do is unthinking
forgetting
to engage our profundity and
collateral effects detector
So that if we think to promise Mom
no nursing home
we ought think about her
sitting helplessly watching us
kill ourselves
While we will both grow
tired, irritated, and angry
with one another
When we could have been tender

There is another logic
Beneath the me that’s me

We’re something larger
To unlearn
