BOTTLE

BOTTLE

this poem.
is irradiated

that poem
is irradiated too,

it says
so on
the bottle

helps them
I suppose, can
only presume
negotiate the mechanics.
of speaking
truth
to power.

being shining examples
of all that light can
achieve

when a billion years
of concentrated matter
is turned
into energy
in one
billionth
of an hour
