The Expansion

thirteen minutes to write something

cut widen and deepening

universe open in the middle

each second expanding just a little

what was this big bang all about

all of this, just, "falling out"?

you know that painting on the ceiling?

two fingers touch, you know that feeling?

well i remember it in the corner of your smile

since then cycling some type of time trial

further away, mile by mile

had it been a lifetime or just awhile?

either way, from that spark, the universe burst

my eyes catching your flicker came first

the galaxy did shrink and "time" was slow

there was rhythm in the river's flow

but then the explosion's blast

placed me in the future and that moment in the past

and here we are in the expansion

wearing time in our eyes like we're old fashioned

if we get further away are we getting closer on the other side?

does the universe go 'roud like a clock ticking time?

is it a sphere, is it waves, is it a line?

is it God's mind?

yours or mine?
