In the paper today
two close-ups of the sun shot
ten years apart,
the older one
complete with the familiar spots,
the other, current,
almost entirely clear orange,
cartoon-character-face orange.
It’s thought
any face projected on a screen
is dead.
“What can I do?”
she said about some
chronic social wrong I’d brought up.
Nothing, said the sun.
