How It Began.

Habitués of
Heaven hate to hurry,
After eons soaked in ecstasy,
Perched upon a pinhead, pink and
blurry,
Passionately pleased simply to be.
Yet those of us below, who work and
worry,
Send from time to time an urgent
plea,
Ever hoping for a glimpse of glory
Vouchsafed from beyond what we can
see.
Enter, then, O angels, in your fury,
Nether worlds no bigger than a pea,
To brush the moment with your burning
beauty,
Hallowing this
anniversary!
