Powers that will work for thee; air, earth, and skies;
There’s not a breathing of the common wind
That will forget thee; thou hast great allies;
Thy friends are exultations, agonies,
And love, and man’s unconquerable mind.”

and he noted them and touched their slime.
Plankton came and he held them in his palm
like God’s littlest light bulbs.”
