JUST PEACHY

The concept
of the universe 
next door—lectures the doctor

isn't misunderstood 
so much—as 
it is

too poor-
ly apprehended;

Meanwhile
on the other side
of the world—

a hungry child cries
quietly
while—
the whole host

of weightless 
pagan angels 
weeps—and wonders lamentably 
why

there's seemingly—still
nowhere 
down on earth

where they've dreamt
of engineering—
nectarine pie yet.
