Today I Saw

Today I saw
A student posting his request
For quiet in the hall
While he studied.

He did not realize that
He had become Martin Luther,
Nailing his angry theses on the church’s door.

That Martin Luther was only
Doing something supernatural,
Articulating for himself
The petty feuds of gods above
While they looked down in agreement.

The paper posted –
Written in cursive –
Was of a planet
Unseen by the strongest telescope,
A planet where spirits and gods and angels float
One
And another
And another

And this planet,
Dear Reader,
Is like nothing you could ever,
Ever comprehend.
