Because I longed
to comprehend the infinite
I drew a line
between the known and unknown
From zero base
to its apex point opposite
Thus dividing
all past time from all future time
And all of space,
the positive from negative.
Where both sides met,
they formed the infinite present.
I saw the church bend its steeples,
ears to the ground
Then place its pulpit on the roof
to speak to God
Proclaiming the kingdom of men
at last had come
Who gave each day its daily bread,
whose will was done
