Tsunami

The underwater earthquake
off the coast
of Sumatra

makes the whole earth vibrate
and affects
the earth’s rotation.

The tsunami spreads out
over the Indian Ocean
just missing

Arthur C. Clarke in Sri Lanka
before heading
to India.

This, unfortunately
for Fox News,
is not the work

of Osama Bin Laden
though a new Al Qaeda tape
claims so.

But, the laws of nature
do not take man into account,
and have no idea of his importance.
