Two Truths Haiku
by Maria FrancescaI am one ion
in the universal speck
that is am atom,
one pip on one 'i'
in infinitesimal -
I am Horton's Who.
I'm a stray dog's flea,
one foot on a millipede,
a street rat's whisker,
one convenient lie
in a politician's mouth
on Sunday morning.
I am one human
walking on one small planet
circling one small sun
on an outer edge
of a whirling galaxy
and I know two truths:
Whatever I do
I can't stop the universe
and it can't stop me.
