He said "the conservation of matter
is a Christian ideal,
and they have special lights
which prevent us from dancing.
If you only had a machine
you could find out for yourself."

But what good is an incantation
against an Empire?
The answer is on the side
of the moon we're not supposed to see.
How painful to walk through town
in a dented suit of armor,
early summer, the whole neighborhood
smells like sperm,
and it's late,
scars of oral surgery.
