Universe Ode

                                                  For The Bang 
​
Thank you,
expanding existence.
 
And those who’ve/
who’re historizing what
can never be fully named,
penetrated, sussed. 
 
Whatever irks,
devastates,
is pacified by the musing
of vague dark matter,
the candor of physics, 
and daunting luminosity  
of quasars.
 
I am beholden to vastness
and the rarity of us
in it all.
 
The truest compass
in this patchwork realism.
 
Sometimes, I don’t judge empty
slogans hanging in foyers
as harshly.
 
Every once and a while
I’m better for the sake of it.
