give or take a decade or two,
barring accidents, on average,
we each get about seventy years.
do we exist simply
as products of society
and culture,
or do we exist
under a mysterious sky
full of planets, stars and galaxies?
perhaps we could do something more valuable
with our allotted time
than worrying that it’s too short.
sometimes,
when i gaze deeply into the cosmic nothing,
i see the cosmic everything.
