Swift Ballerina

She's the envy of
Marbled Men. She's
a swift ballerina. She is
whirring and spinning
the history of man with
her artful arms and limbs.
She can tell you,
just by twirling her hair,
who won at Bastogne,
the location of Alpha Centauri,
Romeo's ultimate desires,
all of it.
She engineers the universe,
dropping out of perfection's
rigid verse as she feels,
just because she can.
She can give you the time.
You will want all of it.
She can give you the space.
You will want none of it.
But she only lasts as
long as everything
else is beautiful. Then,
when the grayness swallows
you again, you will have to dream
her up once more.
