Shortest title is quickly followed by the longest title I've ever had. Figure that. Not sure the title, Everything the Power of the World is done in a circle, counts since it's the first whole line though.
I like that this poem reads almost like prose. There are no "poetic" words. No sentence has poor grammar so as to fit meter or to be a smoother read. It is a marvel that this collection of eight sentences read like poetry. But I think that the power of language is on full display here. Eight complete sentences=a poem of great beauty, truth, and a complete world view.
Favorite line: "The sky is round/and I have heard that the earth is round/like a ball"
