God Visits Holland

Did you hear about the man
under a kite ­- evaporating,
spread all around the Ranstad?

He was building a barge,
long and wide and high.

In a moment
he saw torn wings,
thousands crawling out of the ground
falling one way, or the other.

Struck through his armpit on the left -­
like hitting your funny bone
only much much worse.

A stinking cloud flowed above
the mills and canals -­
they stayed inside for two days.

His little finger twitched,
that was the beginning.

I suppose it wasn't meant to be.
