Oxymoron
In the midst of the
Heady, philosophic
Conversation
She said
"He is cosmically Grounded"
The phrase caught us all by surprise.
First, the humorous
Oxymoron,
Then
The vivid image,
As we each saw him.
Sturdy, battered work boots
Planted firmly
On nothing
Compact form in jeans and
Plaid shirt,
Pleasant, smiling face,
Brown hair, graying beard,
Against a backdrop of black space, and
Infinite stars.
Like what's his name,
Standing in space
With his lever,
Moving the world.
