AT THREE LUNAR CRATERS
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
When I was once on the Moon,
I found terrestrial personalities
in all the respectable craters,
and I told the great Greek
philosophers and astronomers
Anaximander, Anaximenes,
and Anaxagoras that,
according to the latest research,
not apeiron, air, or cosmic mind
were primordial elements
in the Universe,
but an explosion called the Big Bang,
and that it is not the Sun that
revolves around the Earth,
but the Earth that
revolves around the Sun.
.
And they answered me:
-Don’t worry, it's OK! -
That's exactly why, from now on,
we will call you... Anaxandrei!
