the Earth
is moving

the kitchen
is moving

both are moving
relative to
each other

meanwhile
down in Houston
confidence is high
this year’s Nobel Prize

will go to a human
and not to an alien

except that prize
for plays, poems, stories
which always
goes to an alien
(this being
just how things are)

meanwhile in my
corner of the cosmos
my microwave is broken
openly mocking, laughing
at me because
I lack the physics
to fix it

both of us signs
of that residual energy which once went orgasmic
before time-space and its converse
which we also
had to invent
