Walking Through the MSC

But where will they put the spheres
while the living room is renovated?

Surely not in the building
as it bends and breaks and burns.

And surely not on display in
some unused hall or treeless aboretum.

No, I think they'll be stored away
in some tight-lipped closet about the city
where predictably one small boy
with a bobby pin and a bit of luck

will uncover the find of the century.

Two whole worlds, one blue, one red,
Being held, prisoner planets
in the dark.
