There was a time
when humor
was of the stars
was of the heavens
immense

that was a rare time
huge current-waves
gulped bubbling
energy:
and it was night

Ah! would that
These humor times
In the heavens
Be less rare and
More often
You hear in the midst
Of the deep night
A big joke cracking
A jester laughing
In the wide immense heavens!

Emmanuel George Cefai
