News of Our Time

In the West
The women come
And go  *
In the East
The warlords too
Do come and go
Fall and rise
Disappear then
Materialize
Beamed from space
Into this place
Riding thunderbolts
Exploding into parts
All that deemed
Wise
Or arts
Of careless living
The dances and
The grace
Of women
In the West
Who come and
Go
Speaking only
Of Michelangelo  *
