If I could, with a thought,
destroy this planet,
I'd only do it once --
just to see.

That's a great poem! Reminds me of a story by Neal Gaiman. :)
Thanks, Julia. I've read (and liked) several of his stories -- not sure which this poem recalls. Probably the poem was earlier, since I wrote this one around 1990.
