“no one ever fails in a universe of tables”

By Noah Burton From Issue No. 1

no one ever fails in a universe of tables

where nothing ever falls off

without falling on another table

so we hold everything and everything’s

held by us and we are held by all of it

so we never fail to keep a table top ready

to hold whatever else may come

then I’d gather we’d expect it

to be another table but here we are

propped up cleared and all standing

surprised together that it’s a table
