while domestic snap and banter
fits within the landscape of living room
some break off to stand silhouetted and
rain-streaked by the windows and
high apartments until a hand of rock
holds the griddled gathering of civic plan
clear-skyed and clear-eyed beneath
all fiery scan and catastrophe “so long
as men feel the end can justify the means
… the fools! The blind unwitting fools!”
where all about heads become regal and
all feature and thought become arrays of pin
and needle protruding as face, then
there is need for technology to soar
great underbelly to the rooftops
askance from Fantastic Four #s 102-103 (September-October 1970), Marvel, plot: Stan Lee; storytelling & art: Jack Kirby & John Romita
