My Apotheosis

Chris Toll

The flying saucer lands
behind a hill.
Two Grays walk slowly
toward the manger
where Mary nurses Jesus.
One Gray carries a jigsaw puzzle
that changes the past.
The other Gray carries a mirror
that shows the future.
A woman talks on her cell phone
at the corner of Market and Money.
Bankers are frying ozone
in front of City Hall.
A detective cleans his bifocals
and releases the safety on his automatic.
Elizabeth weeps just like an American.
