3. Black Bodies
Theoretical, approximated by a hollow sphere,
Absorb all incident radiation and reflect none.
They do not shine. They are full of what we don’t know.
We have many such people lying on our streets.
They are a barely noticeable presence
the only evidence dense blasts of gamma rays.
In our cities we have no problem simply
Stepping over them
Once on the street I saw a woman dressed in hefty-bags,
I saw a naked woman begging.
Everyone passing was already late for work.
We ask them to jump over their own shadows,
or drag them
behind.
NOTES:
There is the unseen kinship of matter and antimatter, and the lack of human
perception
that we, too, have our own dark matter which is unknown
yet carries a huge gravity. We
see what we choose in the light,
while the greatest volume is in what we don't/can't/won't
see.
