The pebble of the world is
thrown around the sun,
around the galaxy,
across the universe,
in a curvy, wobbly path
at high speed,
yet we think it still,
but for the sun that
reminds us where we are
on this blue speck
that is insignificant
but all we know.

And on this
speck we connect,
and make our lives and meaning
in the push and pull
of life and death,
fully corrected to nature
but still pretending
that nature does not count.

Yes, here we are: a pebble
kicked like a football by gravity
around the infinity of the universe.
