Glass Cage

The heart
Wrapped
In the glass cage,

Separate
From the body,
Separate from the world,

Isolated
From synapse touch,
From neurone being:

Yet still
The mind watches
From behind the glass,

Seeing everything,
Un-blinkered,
Unblinking.

Egotism

With his mad mirror
Man goes in to the world
To find and make wonder

As if the wonder did not first exist
And he, not God,
Was creator of it.
