Earth

Pale blue dot
We are!
In the all we are
we are nothing
(in the best possible way)
For if we, the world, are nothing
Why should we worry so?
Or dance to the brightest day?
Why the kafuffle of early spring?
To wonder of cleaning things?
Why the reach way around?When we know the end for sure is found?
Why day, as it appears to be and all that seems to be
The hour glass ants and the sand that seeds
And down, way down,
To pages of shiny women
Oh how we claw at skin unattainable
How very, very foolish!
We are time and we are wasting
Each tick each tock
To some silly Lego building block!
Foundations oh, so fret!
By carpenters and the men who know not yet
That green is him and I
The green of silky passer-by’s
The heavy sad we carry
Perhaps is lost in space
Like pigs, who fly.
Or torched underground where ice may lie.
Each crack of feeble walk
My mother’s back to lock
and break in some superstitious wake!
Eat earth I say!
For every time of day that picks at falling flesh
Earth, you may rest!
Rest hard in a guttural spin!
I live as you live and I do not live to win
Anymore!!
