That which One Person Sees in Heaven

​(That which one person sees in heaven
Another person sees in high school,
There’s the exosphere, of course,
And the iron-oxide molecule,

There’s a small, white hand, that opens
Into a realm of history,
Stones are stones, and allegory,
And they are free, and obligatory,)

And affection for grass and football field
Bleachers, and the lights shining at night,
And the glistening water on stalactites,
And a smear of glowworm yellow light.
