Crazy Strange


Crazy strange when you think about it,
None of this, that which you see, taste,
Smell and feel, not one atom of any of
This would be possible, would be here,

There or anywhere, not even the thoughts
Which I type into words on this computer
Resting in my lap, not the dog barking next
Door, nor the child crying for mama on the

Other side of the world, not all the bran-
ches and leaves of every single tree on
The planet, not Jupiter or Venus or Mars,
Not ever star in every galaxy, not a single

Glance or sigh between you and me would
Even be a possibility without the matter
Sent to us on the cosmic waves of an explo-
ded super nova. Think of it, a nonexistent

You would not be driving a car which had not
Been made to a place of work that never open-
ed for lack of a door because there was not a
Single person who was ever born or had a com-

bination or even a key which never came to
Be. And we look up and believe that the stars
Are so very far away.
