Steel

"All the Moons of Our Solar System," 2015, by Stella Maria Baer

Steel

Every event is beholden to
what A sequence or only consequence
It is beautiful to think
that by lifting a window
you have made somewhere
a branch fall

but I know this is romanticized truth
also known as illusion

The inventors of the pinball machine
screamed out Look Here is the meaning
of life and how it all began

Maybe not
but they did say
now let’s try steel for that ball
