Gagarin says, in ecstasy, 
he could have 
gone on forever 

he floated 
at and sang 
and when he emerged from that 

one hundred eight minutes off 
the surface of 
the earth he was smiling. 

Then he returned 
to take his place 
among the rest of us 

from all that division and 
subtraction a measure 
to and heel 

heel and toe he felt 
as if he had 
been dancing
