We come spinning out of nothingness
Scattering stars
All CREATION bears the MOLECULAR MEMORY of a TERRIBLE
EXPLOSION OF ELECTRICITY, ENERGY, MATTER AND MOTION
A VIOLENT ERUPTION OF WHITE LIGHT WHITE HEAT
CHAOS IS THE LAW OF NATURE
Do you really believe that before us
Nothing existed here?
No one?
That we are totally alone here?
That we are unique, dreadfully unique?
You think more of what has been than of what will be
But no one has lived in the past
And no one will live in the future
The present is the form of all life
The present is terrifying
Because it is irreversible
Because it has a will of iron
The past represents its future
It advances in a straight line
Yet it ends by coming full circle
Time the endless circle
One long slow deep breath that goes on forever
One long slow deep breath that stinks of sulfer
