pity this busy monster, manunkind,
 not. Progress is a comfortable disease:
 your victim (death and life safely beyond)
 
 plays with the bigness of his littleness
 -electrons deify one razorblade
 into a mountainrange; lenses extend
 
 unwish through curving wherewhen till unwish
 returns on its unself.
 ____________________  A world of made
 is not a world of born  pity poor flesh
 
 and trees,poor stars and stones,but never this
 fine specimen of hypermagical
 
 ultraomnipotence.  We doctors know
 
 a hopeless case if  listen: there's a hell
 of a good universe next door; let's go
