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?
