they said the world was mapped
north was north
rocks were rocks
gravity had paperwork
and every Star a name
tried it for a while—
filed wonder under wander (oops wrong drawer)
circled X where X belonged
and walked the proper way
they issued certainty in standard size
pressed every question flat
buttoned answers to the throat
and called the uniform knowing
my World was mapped.
so neat! so certain! so Brain Dead!
and Now for something completely different...
bowler, blazer, briefcase
uniform complete
the ministry of silly walks
is the Ministry you seek!
