Atlas & Beyond

An accomplishhed fact

home again
she watched and then
a spider lost control
she realised
none of us is born
never to fall

it strucked five
and its fall
was, she said,
an accomplished fact

she watched tv
another scene, she cried:
he's gone insane
he locked the door
made a call, but mama
came too late

it strucked twelve
and his fall
was, she said,
an accomplished fact
