Some days I just want to walk in to the sunrise
Just to follow it back to the beginning
Just to get the glimpse of the Big Bang
The universe refrains
Endlessly rearranged
By particles of human skin floating through space
Maybe a fleck of my skin can fly away in to the horizon
Go to all the places I have never been
Just so that I can say
That I've kissed the stars with these aging lips
That I've tasted the planets and I've taken a glimpse
Of what lies at the end of this universe, the human terrarium where we float around like goldfish
Unaffected by the glass that surrounds us
We simply swim
Like stardust
We float with the current
Endlessly skim the surface
Like the driftwood that gets beaten by the waves
We simply
Exist
