Universal
Does the moon also fall
As fruit does
Ripening beyond
What brittle branches can hold
Ideas are universal
And this simple question
Snatched the crowns from kings
Disrobed the clergy
Lured brown skin boys from the fields
And sent steel and smoke
Up into the heavens
Does the moon also fall
It does
A perpetual state of free fall
Leaving us all
Catching our breath
