Time Slices
In the Space-Time loaf
Are much tastier
Than bland reality
Though the flavor only lasts
A Planckian nanosecond
Savoring moments of
Miraculous awareness
Traveling through this
Dense divine dimension
Sitting at a not so solid
Table and chair
On a mantel above
A sea of molten magma
Rotating at 1000 mph
In an outer band of stars
Hurling through an abysmal void
Chasing uncatchable galaxies
At 1.3 million miles per hour
Going nowhere fast and how
Not knowing where we are at all
Nor when we have been…ever
(Where this “should” have stopped.)
And still………
We have the audacity and conceit
To focus what little attention
We can spare on the narcissistic
Exhibitions and goings on of one man
And his band of distraction desperados
“Ever wonder why we’re #ucked up as a species?”
– Bill Hicks
