X-RAY EYES:
A MEDITATION AT THE MILLENNIUM
by
Sheila Pinkel

How old are roses?
How old are light bulbs?
How old are angels?
The universe is 15 billion years old.
How old are potato chips?
How old are trees?
How old are mushroom clouds?
Human eyes are 200,000 years old.
How old is rain?

How old is memory?
How old is toxic waste?
How old are hopes and dreams?
Who owns nature?
