I Am Not A Scientist

Nor do I play one on TV

Or stay at a fancy hotel

Which is why I am confounded

About the underlying verbal tic

Of big bang theories that get

Presented from alleged sources

Repeated more oft than not

About the birth of the universe

As if it actually happened at

Some point in nonexistent time

Inherently defying all logic at

Every turn, twist, reason, and guess

Depicting projections of assumptions

On absolutely nothing verified

Anywhere in the observable universe

Of even some remote tangibility, save

Putting pen to graphic paper or

Intricate digitized designs

Usually, for some purpose of being

Always shown from left to right

Never right to left or up from down

Just a dot emanating into a cone

Going in one direction outward

Instead of every which way

Scattered like uncontained explosions

Might typically rapidly expand



Riddle me this Batman

If infinity started from nothing
What was it surrounded by ??


Besides, if one went to the “edge,”

Of the observable universe

There would only be more

Infinite observable universe

And, guess what, no proof

Whatsoever of a “big bang”


“Can you deal with that?”
