How Many Angels Can Stand On The Point Of A Pin? Poem by Brian Taylor

How Many Angels Can Stand On The Point Of A Pin?



Although the Two Worlds
are so intimately linked,
how is it that they are
completely distinct?

See!
A ten-ton elephant
and a thousand soldiers
reflected in a single mirror!

Why doesn’t the glass shatter
under the weight of such an elephant?
Why does not the frame splinter
beneath the boots of such an army?
