we may have begun
with a glorious big bang
and some delirious dance of stardust coalesced
into just the right rocks at just the right time
to give us our trifling flashes and lost shadows
on this rolling stone,
but what is nobler
than stepping in the doleful dung of cursed carnivores
before it becomes desiccated, before its mushy mass
turns to invisible gas, and makes hallow our air
and divine our dust

a kindred spirit told me discussions of **** were not important--my response was this three minute verse
