Flannel

Viewed from below

the world is shallow

 

an irregular trickle

that settles so little

 

time and space just to wallow

and splash a feint shadow

 

to flush out tomorrow

and fashion a tableau

 

in which God and the Devil

by turns pull and tug

 

a perpetual struggle

for control of the plug.

Very clever, short, sharp and ironically shafted on quite a serious subject for some people.
