The Brotherhood of Right Angles,
who meet in the old potting shed out back
every other Tuesday at nine o’clock.
Tonight’s guest speaker, Zeno the Eleatic,
his discussion concerning infinity and its paradoxes.
Among the small gathering is the philosopher Voltaire;
who once said, ‘If triangles had a god
they would endow it with three sides.’
Behind him sits Bobo, the celebrity chimp,
making the hand signs for ‘Caca in the head.’
And that’s about the yes and no of it really.
No mention of ‘Unity, Duty and Destiny.’ here.
Meanwhile, overhead, the recording angel,
perched upon her cloud and writing just as fast as she can.
