"More Questions about the Efficient Use of Free will"

We break through some windows onto a terrace where

Men and women living in the 15th Century are having their

Pictures taken, so caught up are they in their headdresses' feathers.

Peacocks and turkeys and herons and cranes and pelicans

Turn out to be better at playing catch than one might expect.

A battalion of Jeb Stuart's men lean on their rifles singing to

Mourn the loss of their beloved commander's plumage.

A Toucan flies by, an otherworldly Luna moth on the Toucan's

Side, the side we can see, there may be no other side.

We're on the kind of Earth satellites show us pictures of,

The kind in which the Earth looks like a smooth round ball,All its crayons, contours and mountains erased, as if all's been

Ground down, sanded and smoothed. Far sifted shavings fly.

I'm beginning to get an inkling what labyrinths are for.
