Soft Atlas

A vision

Your ghost blowing up globes

Tightening them off with an X-axis-esque C-clamp

And then sending them down through the clouds

Onto empty department store shelves

Where they sit facing all sorts of islands

Toward dead wee hour isles

Has the earth come loose from its galactic neck beneath you?

Cut off above the clouds

Gone, let go from the space around you

Dropped down, done to the sun system

Cooked pearl of the one universe

Cleaved, fell, rolling toward the corner of the cosmos

In the blackened quiet of come time

And you are all planned for this

Spring is at your back yet again

Though this time rare with the clarity

Wild patches that you thought hold ground up still

But you tolerate your woe and flesh that kin

With one half dead

Yet you get a view to let the worst rose be

As if it were a glorious day to world to cope

And no one's out there, scared

Set your eyes off on the ceiling, all night, in the dark

Think of a song, or maybe breasts or missing body parts

Without a universal law there is no gravity

Without no gravity there is no atmosphere

Without an atmosphere there is no chance in life

And with no chance in life, I don't exist

Without a universal law there is no gravity

Without no gravity there is no atmosphere

Without an atmosphere there is no chance in life

And with no chance in life, I don't exist

Without a universal law there is no gravity

Without no gravity there is no atmosphere

Without an atmosphere there is no chance in life

And with no chance in life, I don't exist

Without a universal law there is no gravity

Without no gravity there is no atmosphere

Without an atmosphere there is no chance in life

And with no chance in life, I don't exist

Without a universal law there is no gravity

Without no gravity there is no atmosphere

Without an atmosphere there is no chance in life

And with no chance in life, I don't exist

Without a universal law there is no gravity

Without no gravity there is no atmosphere

Without an atmosphere there is no chance in life

And with no chance in life, I don't exist
