who owned it first!
Give it back to the Chinese
who laid the tracks
over their dead bodies!
Unraveling, evolving, manifesting,
touching the planets and stars,
white beard pointed jauntily to Orion,
loins resting languorously
against the hot flanks of Alpha Centauri.
Raging, laughing, crying, decrying;
prodding, urging, discommoding, incanting;
demonic mandarin; mage; Magellanic--
hurtling humongous challenges again:
Where is the nation that can contain him?
Where are the people to sunder their shrines?
