Creation Myth on a Moebius Band by Howard Nemerov
This world’s just mad enough to have been made
by the Being His beings into Being prayed.
Nemerov's poem first appeared in Poetry (October 1971) and also is found in The Collected Poems of Howard Nemerov (University of Chicago Press, 1981). A Mobius Band is a one-sided surface -- if you draw on it with a pen a line parallel to the edges you will return to your starting point having traversed the complete length of the strip without ever crossing an edge.
