Pinpoint Perception
Abundant life
On a pinpoint
Pooling uneven
Like the universe
That made it
Lopsided like
Probability
And it’s funny
Our identity
Our individuality
All of the ways
We feel separate
When we’re here
Huddled by fire Earth
Admiring the intense
Burning warmth
Not wanting to consider the immense
Expanse of cold darkness
Surrounding
Suffocating
If we do
Most things will become trivial
And emotions will gather
We’d rather
Spiral together
Loosely tethered
Losing awareness
Choosing a path on
A circle that’s rotating
To the same end
And flatter ourselves
With how alien we are
How alienated we’ve always been
From the people
Out there
On the same pinpoint
Graced by the same day
Stuck in the same time
Pumping equivalent DNA
People who
Clearly
Couldn’t possibly understand
Us
