Life in the cosmos.

I've been thinking lately

about tumbling into space.

Spinning heel over head

through the cosmos

in intergalactic freefall

for the rest of always

and how familiar that

would feel to me.

I've been thinking that

if I could change the entire

fundamental makeup of

the slowly migrating universe,

to warp space and time, would it

be to my benefit to do so?

Small changes ripple outward

having profound consequence

on things we cannot even

fathom the connections between

and is it right?

Is it Good, capital g,

to make those changes?

Is it worth the risk of

losing this to illustrate

the profundity of it?

If I could move stars

would I do so for you?

If I could compress gravity

enough to warp time

would it even matter

that, from a

specific perspective,

we'd technically have

more time together?

I've been thinking lately

about forever

because it doesn't exisit,

it's an abstraction,

a thought given etheral form,

but it is also the only unit of

measurement that feels

consistent with what

I feel for you.
