Imaginary space

They say

I’m a fake,

just a

piece of art

slung on

a postcard

like some

seaside tart.

The say the

human race

can’t see galaxies,

the moon’s

shadowed grace,

and all the

earth’s nations

spinning from space.

They also say

the world is flat

but really it’s too

curved for that.

(If you think

of it as squished

at the poles, it’s

actually an ellipse.)

OK if you look

at me carefully,

I guess you

will see an

imagined eclipse.

But then

you’ll be

picking nits

like all the

Facebook hits

taking advantage

of equality

to challenge

my reality.

Hold the door,

open your heart,

in your damn

science is there

no room for art?

If I wasn’t

really seen

from the

International

Space Station

I should

have been.

Congratulations

to the

unknown arters,

devil take

the `realists’

and carpers.
