GALAXY

GALAXY

Ah, yes, Professor,
that Gutenberg Galaxy!

first only one Church;
and now
everywhere a church
far as the eye can see
a billion church communities

religion
is booming
Jesus is booming, dividing
and subdividing
splendidly proliferating

first there was one text
now there are many texts

once many
texts, many libraries

but now, when it
comes to libraries
business is
on
a downturn

we are down
to our last one
