The Whole Ball Of Wax

(Let the cat out of the bag.)

by Joanna Quinto

The sky is too huge a misery,
With wind that blows a weed –--
Wipes off at its soft strength.  
And with a sturdy rain that may take away a trace at the moment –--
May very well leave one cold for long.


But to this, We put a dot.  
Through his deathless ocean of patience, 
The train of gears is re-tracked.  


Signboard announces for service –--
To shoot the moon, 
The stars, 
And the whole ball of wax.
