gonna buy me a spaceship powered by dark energy take me to the outermost reaches forever chasing infinity
losing myself in improbabilities a googol light years out and still caught in this gravity well, unmoved, unmoving all the eons wasted in regret
and she sang to me once upon a distant dream I wondered at the sweetness of her voice though I lay still, tied down and unmoving a doomed fly on a spider’s web confounded by the looping weave of time and chance
do I remember, or do I dream? do I hope or pray or deceive myself and is anything I think of even real?
Lying beside her, less than a finger’s breadth apart I swear fast accelerating, the gap becoming a yawning chasm my breath escapes into the merciless vacuum igniting galaxies and superclusters in between spawning light, and the flickering shadows that follow and mesmerized as I raced towards infinity and time’s arrow pointing to entropy
dark energy don’t fail me now
