NAPOWRIMO April 9, 2014


Contemplation

Just because the universe is swimming in dark matter
doesn’t mean dark matters must preoccupy my thoughts
yet not attending to them doesn’t make them go away.
I hereby designate, bequeath
being of sound mind and body
but If I cannot speak for myself
my wishes are as follows…
My parents didn’t do these things
and it didn’t save their lives
and I am so much older
than they ever got to be.
Still such dark matters,
though currently invisible
have great mass and gravity
that cannot be ignored
even by someone
still waiting to see
what I will be
when I
grow up.
