Not One Universe

for William Michaelian, fellow star trekker

Unable to find the time,
We fall asleep

With one unfinished verse still
Running through our mind—

Billions of galaxies
In the universe

One can’t even dream
Of waking up in time.

  5. Beyond this verse, which is finished, and beautifully so, I’m thankful that out of so many universes, we share the one we do.

  6. William,

    Thanks for such a fitting end to this comment stream!(If not the end, thanks just the same for being there at the beginning.)
