Time stately passes
I
Hear its regal cape
Screeching the earth
Slowly.
I hear
Dawn and the new
Day
Whispering
I hear
A lark in the heavens
Still
Kangaroo-like
Hopping.
I feel
The scent of formalin
For in the night
Earth had its stitches.
Crushing meteorites
Flew
In each other's path
Grumbling
In the light of an
Earth that lights
Blue bulb of sadness
Rotating
In the immense spaces
Rotating
Ghosts groan with shrouds
Lamenting
The bridge sighs its sighs
Of centuries

The primary sense organ is the ear. All of the events are heard by the speaker. The poem begins with the measured movement of time and we can adjust to time because it moves in this predictable and slow speed. But what will the consequences of the meteor collision? It was a meteor collision which and its consequences that put an end to the dinosaurs and their dominion on earth. Are you entertaining such a notion? I can't wrap my mind around such an end to not just physical life as with the dinosaur extinction but human culture with all that we humans have created in our three million years.
