World is circle

picture: The blue marble by NASA

World is circle

“Leave” he said.
“There is no there there”1 she replied.
How could there be a there
When there was never here?

“Then stay” he said.
“Here is not here!” she replied.
How could here be still here
When here never got there?

With all the madness in the world
No choice was reasonable.
So he said: “Circle”.
And she nutated.
