The world
was flat then
and
observers could see
from one
edge to the
other, since
there was
no horizon,
no curve
of earth.
The world
was so flat
that fears
of falling
off into the
abyss were
rampant,
and sailors
refused to
man a ship
that was
to sail too
near the rim.
Flat planet
floating
in a void of
flat planets
and
two-sided stars.
We wondered
some
times what
there was
on the
underside of
ours, the
one called
Earth, same
term we
used for
dirt, the stuff
that stuck us
to the
ground and
kept us
from the
view below.
