[Newspoetry] $.02one hole

[Joe Futrelle]

Punta Arenas, Chile -
Prince William's character,
built, nay burnt by the sun
in under 7 minutes
(they should put him on a coin)
six months of darkness
prevent our balloons from
measuring the depth of the
ozone layer
normally just the depth of
two stacked pennies
(which way?  ENN doesn't say)
each penny 150 Dobson units
from heaven
I had imagined it to be so very
much bigger, like at least
fifty feet or something
If you go outside
cover yourself with pennies
builds character
just my $.02
