I’m a mouse in a hole
pretending divinity
a heaven would need animals
and plants
My heaven would need a mouse.
Carl Sagan said that the trees and plants
are genetically and organically like us,
that they use the same organic compounds
that life began before there was an atmosphere
life created the atmosphere
life began with organic compounds
created by lightning
We have so much
time.
The universe has been here for
fourteen billion years and
that is a grain of sand…
take a hundred billion of those
and that is a grain of sand
We’ll see each other in a few
universe explosions
and it will seem as if
it were a second
we’ll look at the two suns and
three moons like they were
always there
and the mouse and the plants will be in our heaven
