Two Thoughts Wide
Two thoughts wide
The universe spanned
Checkerboard strips across nature’s miracle
Night dark crowded
Constellations thin but connected
Soaring high, frozen quick
Neighbors friendly, landscape neat
Homes warm with cooking dinner
Goods cheap or dear
Functions work or fail
Beyond the realm
Products fair,
Work yet cheap
Weekday prayers, regular wishes
Definite answers, questions long set
True or false
Gaps bridged by fervent cement
Universe two thoughts wide
Always. It’s happened twice
Never. Last time it didn’t
Something always is or never was
Acts are moral or evil
Universe two thoughts wide
On streets and avenues of civilization
Nothing beyond intersections exist.
Universe two thoughts wide
On streets and avenues of civilization
Nothing beyond intersections exist.
