Cosmic Ego Mike Allen

I Kick Earth Away

unbound, I’m the space-borne son

all attraction done

-

orbits adrift astray

without me, Earth slides and slips

Newton’s millstone scrapped

-

cackling, I adapt

coast on Kepler’s ellipse

while stars dance with joy

-

new orbits entered

all Heaven’s spheres re-centered

Aristotle’s boy

-

who proves all Cosmos

spins at my whim; I, the soul

ruling paradigm

—Mike Allen
