The switch to turn off the world
This is by Richard Hoffman, friend of my favorite poetry prof who sometimes sends these things out, from his book Without Paradise.
"SO WHAT"
Here is a tiny weapon, devastating, undetectable.
Here is the switch to turn off the world.
The demise of an ancient question;
the voice no longer rises,
and a black hole, antimatter, widens
like a desperate pupil in the sudden dark.
