We walk into my bedroom,
continuing the conversation we had in the car.
But, don't you see? she was saying.
*We all live forever.
You just have to adjust your definition of* forever. *I mean, what frame of reference for eternity do we have
other than our own perception?*
Really, for all I'm concerned, she sighs,
falling backwards onto the bed,
the universe was born with me.
Isn't that a little bit . . . egocentric? I venture.
Don't be silly. She pulls her hat down over her eyes.
We are all our own universe.
I didn't sleep that night.
