Inconsequential

Life Affirming

What the fuck does that even mean?
Nothing you do matters

in the astrophysical scheme of things.
Piss on us all.

I am irrelevant.
So are you.


Astrophysical Perspective

I write poems as if language matters.
It doesn't in the astrophysical scheme of things.

Ending poverty means nothing
in the astrophysical scheme of things.

What we say and what we do
means nothing in the astrophysical

scheme of things. We are but specks
of matter in the astrophysical scheme of things.


Becoming Small

Sometimes, he must become very small
in the swarm of galaxies

in order to forget the consequential harm
he has done and continues. Becoming

inconsequential shapes a terrible
but necessary forgiveness.
