Bashō Was A Snowball
I just wrote a poem
about reaching space
at the speed of light
Three bags full of
cock and steam. I guess
that's all. Empty shovel
We'll remember
every memory to forget
the ones that are special
Enlightened thought
the chance that physics
has always waited for
Each possibility exists
somewhere. The translation
looks into a cold mirror
Bashō was a snowball
sharp-shooter of hats. But
that was then. It's still winter
I'm still writing. So
are you. The next one
comes at the speed of light.
That final stanza is just brilliant!
