Morning Exercises
Maybe today the solar wind will flare up
and if the electrical grid collapses
a few people will be most annoyed
they can’t check their lottery numbers online
Maybe today extraterrestrials will pop in
and ask if we could stop calling because
one of their weaknesses is for listening
to our noise just shy of white
Maybe today it will be revealed that cancer
is actually cellular schizophrenia, and with practice
it can be cured by holding still, awkwardly happy
with the one you you are
Maybe today you will remember just enough math
to derive the volume of a cone from scratch
Maybe today is how the whimper will end
with a universe
