We could stand for a century—staring—
\nWith our heads cocked
\nIn the broad daylight at this thing.
\nJoy, landlocked,
\nIn bodies that don’t keep,
\nDumbstruck with the sweetness of being
\nUntil we don’t be told
\n“Take this,” and “Eat this”<\/p>\n
Told:
\n“The meteorite is the source of the light,
\nAnd the meteor’s just what we see,
\nAnd the meteoroid is a stone that’s devoid of the fire
\nthat propelled it to thee;<\/p>\n
And the meteorite’s just what causes the light
\nAnd the meteor’s how it’s perceived
\nAnd the meteoroid’s a bone thrown from the void that lies
\nquiet in offering to thee.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
