A fleshy world meets her rocks
only when gravity overtakes
the original fire, the one that sparked us all.

Take a man and a handful of sand
and there you have life,
a temporary thrust,
then a slow, wearing away
as we compete to ignite
another generation
of death's patients
waiting to be cured of knowledge and thought.

Hopefully, there's more to this world than meets the eye.

so you find sweetness in the stellar?
just let me know how many licks it takes
to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop
or how many jagermeisters lead to heaven
and we may find chocolate chips
before the cookie crumbles.
