A man walks out of his apartment and sits on the front door stoop
watching a star move across the sky
traveling East to
West and Sputnik blinks back like a one-eyed man
In Kansas
Silos pace back and forth nervously while a little boy
rides his bicycle over the family bomb shelter
in circles
Old Mayans
looking into the sky
read the old prophecies
Scratching their heads
While Atlas shrugs his shoulders
Swats at a fly
