Earth is a Topiary

Janet Kuypers
11/14/15

1.
he said
that maybe Earth
is a topiary.

and she said,
if the definition of a topiary
is that it’s two thirds water
and a topiary is supposed to have
worms traveling around
and flies swarming in the air,
then yes,
Earth is a topiary.

2.
then he said,
but what if Earth if a topiary,
and it’s a centerpiece
at a wedding table.

and the candles are stars,
he said.

and,
thinking of the candles
reflected in the eyes
of the guests at the table,
she said,
and the guests at the table
are the galaxies.
and at the end of the night
all of the guests leave,
and it’s like all of the galaxies
are traveling away
at faster
and faster
speeds.
