First

Before today I knew this in Russian only:

ASTRO-GYMNASTICS
Do-it-yourself grook

Go on a starlit night,
    stand on your head,
leave your feet dangling
    outwards into space,
and let the starry
    firmament you tread
be, for the moment,
    your elected base.

Feel Earth’s colossal weight
    of ice and granite,
of molten magma,
    water, iron, and lead;
and briefly hold
    this strangely solid planet
balanced upon
    your strangely solid head.

Piet Hein
