Flat Earth Theory (A Round Table Discussion)

The fact is, the Earth is still. Stunned, in fact,

there is no wind, another than the big fan,

since your argument indicates nothing less

than the coming of another dark age

What can we ascertain of love?

A survival drive, a spark of a star

seeking a guarantee the light

will never die

What we don't know

is everything surrounding

the fractal of what we do

I cannot upload

fifty thousand years

of learning fire burns

and water cools

in a moment of you

closing your eyes

only to deny

the sun of Osiris

in the magical gauze

of the orb beyond the lid

You are quite insistent

but persistence is not proof,

only the tyranny of celestial skys

where the glint of light off a leaf,

relatively speaking

is more profound than Saturn

Hardly fits the pattern

of even the sly screen

we peer into

as our minds go

softer, glowing less,

in the shrunken universe

of the disembodied

voices of doubt
