THE  GLOBE

I saw a blue globe on a table.

I stopped to give it a spin -

and that it did - spinning

around and around and

around and around again.

And then it stopped - that

is - the globe  on the table.

I was facing the very spot

I was standing on - on this

globe on which I was spinning.

I was the only one in the room -

as I realized there are over 7

billion others going for a spin -

on this globe - along with all the

cemeteries around the globe.

Is there a message for me for 

this moment? Is it: “I’m not alone?”

Is it: “This world will stop,

unless there is The Spinner?”

Or is it: “Awe. The ‘Oh My God?’”
