Universe
by
Colt A. Thompson
I
didn’t know many things.
I
didn’t know we were on a drifting rock
Floating
around
A
drifting hydrogen sphere
Of
destructive energy
And
of nourishing one too
I
didn’t know this drifting matter
Was
drifting with others.
Circling
Around
a galactic race track
With
others
To
the center
Of
a black hole
I
didn’t know there were other courses.
And
matter going around those courses.
