Do you remember how it was
before we found zero?
Everything had value
and volume
that occupied more than space.
Would it be a lie to reminisce
about the days before we found fire?
Why
it was black and
white Then powerfully portable
to ashen grey
as it smolders to day.
This is why they burnt everything they
wrote.
Nostradamus was nervous,
rightly so, paranoia will destroy
any weak one in its path.
Have you considered what was
eerie to Einstein should stay
Unknown, no?
Theoretically,
the words slept green and furious
and letters
stopped coming...
There was nothing before-
Us, the Big Bang, the Virgin Mary,
a flaring forth, why
is the sky blue-again?
Truth be told,
matters only
in youth.
And then the missing link
before Us.
The radiant sun,
lights the night and moon
in twirling moods, the pi spinning
itself in dark matters,
starlight never seemed
so bright and worth while...
