Once the earth was flat
under celestial spheres
then it became a globe
in the void
with countries proud
to be big bigger biggest
fighting together, up
to the planets
Some say turn turn turn
the world upside down
the Land of Fire on top
Thule at the bottom
but Bucky knew better:
with twenty triangles
he made a new model –
the flat globe
and it may be the future
he shows, with America
opposed to the rest
of the world
