SMALL
So you wanted to continue
to Mercator project?
keep Africa down
to a tenth of its size
just that
you lost the vote 164-1
even
the Cleveland Browns
never lost that bad
(can’t score
a single point
in the NFL)
but having given us
size justice
why not
carry on
why
suddenly stop
North South
East West
up
down
right; left
when you talking a globe in space
doesn’t make any sense
so fair’s fair; give us
our turn
our moment up there
our day
in
the Sun
turned upside down
the map will be novel, the
map will
be fun
Cape Town at
the very pinnacle
Toronto, Moscow,
Manchester
and yes,
Washington
somewhere down below
no doubt
working on
some really special, for
the ages spin.
