THE GALACTIC TOMATO-COLOURED COUCH 5:35pm
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
There’s A Galaxy
on My Living Room Window Pane
It sits before an old sunset
tantalizing Me by Its Size:
on What Scale is It as Large
as The Galaxies in Space?
on the bacterial level
or the molecular level
or the neutron, proton, electron level?
Or smaller still?
–
Will I ever know The Difference
or is there no difference —
Is It All Relative?
[…] THE GALACTIC TOMATO-COLOURED COUCH 5:35pm. […]
That is a strange bit of bizarre, and I very much liked it. Bring more.
Thank you — stay tuned.
I question this all the time Joanna. This is a very thought provoking poem.
Thank you, Jackie — I think I have made these same references in other poems but I’m not going to worry about repeating myself. I’m glad to know you too think of the scale of things.
