Twentieth Century Unlimited


TWENTIETH CENTURY UNLIMITED


as the twentieth century winds down
the nineteenth begins
again


it is as if nothing happened
though those who lived it thought
that everything was happening
enough to name a world for & a time
to hold it in your hand
unlimited the last delusion
like the perfect mask of death
