The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Rationalisations

As a child, I viewed the poles
(and books often illustrated them as such)
as actual poles sticking up from the snow,
being the visible ends of the physical axis
around which our blue-green globe turned.

And now, from the height of our scientific
explanations, considerations and reason,
that’s a picture as good as any.
