Purveyors of Exquisite Entertainment

If the earth were
were only a few feet in
diameter, floating a few feet above
a field somewhere, people would come
from everywhere to marvel at it. People would
walk around it, marvelling at it's big pools of water,
it's little pools, and the water flowing between the pools.
People would marvel at the bumps on it, and the holes
in it, and they would marvel at the very thin layer of gas
surrounding it, and the water suspended in the gas. The
people would declaire it precious because it was the only
one, and they would protect it so that it would not be hurt.
The ball would be the greatest wonder known, and people
would come to behold it, to be healed, to gain knowledge,
to know beauty and to wonder how it could be.
People would love it, and defend it with their lives,
because they would somehow know that their
lives, thier own roundness, could be
nothing without it. If the Earth
were only a few feet
in diameter.
