Wings

--Miroslav Holub

We have

a microsopic anatomy

of the whale

this

gives

Man

assurance

William Carlos Williams

We have   

a map of the universe

for microbes,

we have

a map of a microbe

for the universe.

we have

a Grand Master of chess

made of electronic circuits.

But above all

we have

the ability

to sort peas,

to cup water in our hands,

to seek

the right screw

under the sofa

for hours

This   

gives us

wings.
