Day Eight Leafy Glen Hamlet's Ghost

Eight 10/08/10

I suppose Earth’s solar busstops

are filling our human ranks with orphans

with eyes like telescopes.

Our souls are under microscopes more than

what drives angels to stand over us in awe

and sight unseen agree Earth is round and ran

Around the sun. It has made us draw

our mighty measuring line straight

past Hamlet’s ghost of royal pa.

Three commands issue from his dreadful pate:

avenge thy father’s death, injure not thy mother

and taint not thy soul with the blood of fate.
