Contrary
to the expectation
Of
all gathered there
The
Village in the Tree
Descended
through the air
Tumbling
most gracefully
The
Village in the Tree
Was
briefly Village in the Sky
But
lacking competence to fly
Became
the Village on the Ground
Devastated
all around
By
good fortune I had grasped
The
final leaf as it fluttered past
The
final view will stay with me
The
face of mute disbelief
As
the Philosoph' observed my leaf
Then
fell toward infinity
Yet
I am sure that while he fell
He
assured himself that all was well
Reality,
though defective
Would
at the end be self-corrective
Would
align canonically
With
most Royal Philosophy
These
musings, though most comforting
Reprieve
of sentence could not bring
Realisation - out of time
Marked
the end of a paradigm
