Poem of the week - Atlas by Kay Ryan

I know you have been wondering what poem Irene would share with us today.

Well here it is:

Extreme exertion
isolates a person
from help,
discovered Atlas.
Once a certain
shoulder-to-burden
ratio collapses,
there is so little
others can do:
they can’t
lend a hand
with Brazil
and not stand
on Peru.
