Honey And Salt
“The shape of the world is either a box or a bag and a box-shaped world has comers and a bag-shaped world is either open or closed, and Somebody holds the bag.
Now whether the world is oblong, square or rhomboid or whether the world is a series of circles, rings twisted into each other’s eternal grooves, or whether the world keeps changing from box to bag, from corners to circles and back to corners, from rings to oblongs and back to rings and repeating the twist into the groove and practicing... that twist over again from box to bag and bag again to box— this was what we were talking about when the first thunder crashed and lightning forked across a black rain.
We decided the earth itself isn’t much.
It is mapped and measured now And we fly around it in just a few breakfasts.
And the strong man they named Atlas Should have had that very name of Atlas If he had stood under the earth ball And held it on his big shoulders; Atlas, you were made as a make-believe And we give you a make-believe salute.MoreLess
