i was born in january
but i knew the world around october
what's that to say about the cave, in which i rest now that i'm older
i used to know so many things, but growing up i did forget them
like the smell of living things and the flowers in the garden
i had seen inside the whole of a bee's busy body to find she was made out of nothing
trajilion miles into space i'd gone and found
that the corners of the universe are round
so when i felt the empty space
it scared me to assume
that i'm a heaven sent creature
on earth to suffer the ruin
old.
