Gorts In Grey
And it was like a scene from that old movie
“The Day the Earth Stood Still”
with thirty or forty Gorts, in grey flowing robes,
walking rigid, praying to a God who might just
be there; but who might just as easily be not
and their pygmy file, gave no quarter to science
or reason, or the latest ring-a-me-thing, evolutionary
season; it was all done, decided, no going back;
and as the 1950’s black and white sun dipped away,
the thirty or forty Gorts, in grey flowing robes,
quietly went their way.
