All Possible Worlds

by Nathan Smith

I have conducted no
formal inductive re-

search about

the proclivity of stones to stay
were thrown to sink in water

certain and straightforward:

All roads lead to Quarry.
There stone is squared.

World is where.  No.
Stones, pelts . . .

If we now can coax
the lizard from its stone

dismantle crust &
core disembowel

two -leaved sons
of Adam.  He is
something else.

Fish in water.
Man in war.

Lies upon the earth
like animal, vegetable

mineral.

Men, or all?
