why am I writing anything down,
watching men on television

discuss how many times
the world can end,

for a moment
it doesn’t matter

as long as it happens
when I am building

a tower with my son,
he tells me where I must put

the little block so tiny people
he says are us will have a place

to sit and watch the end

(from “Elegy For A Small Metal Artifact”)
