Big Bang

Hawkings’ exposition makes attainable
to laymen’s wonder concepts beyond this
or any other time. Visions grand beyond
perception demand imagination far from what’s
now known, black holes or distant galaxies.
Big bang began so far before the unicell
that time lost meaning, then, or now, or what’s ahead.
The accident of 02 and H and C in confluence
compatible creates a life of puerile ostentation,
prepared by past so brief, the futures lost in mystery.
A guessing game. Will shrinking overcome the craving
to expand? Does pendulum foretell that all comes back to
where we were? or even less?
These massive moves bear no affinity to things today.
What yesterday forgot yet may tomorrow bring.
The hedonist says “What the Hell?”
The rest rely on faith, or question “Why?”
