Genuine Wings

Wings
BY MIROSLAV HOLUB

We have
a microsopic anatomy
of the whale
this
gives
Man
assurance
William Carlos Williams

We have
a map of the universe
for microbes,
we have
a map of a microbe
for the universe.

we have
a Grand Master of chess
made of electronic circuits.

But above all
we have
the ability
to sort peas,
to cup water in our hands,
to seek
the right screw
under the sofa
for hours

This
gives us
wings.


For the Record,
This day came in cool sunny and lovely. Both of our dads are not here for us to celebrate in person, but their love and support has never left us, thank you John G. & Ralph J.
