All the Planets Around Me
Tonight I can’t sleep
so I ponder the universe
and all the planets around me
swirling in syncopation
with me on one of them
unable to sleep
under the moon and the stars.
I do an address search for
the First Church of the Big Bang.
I want to join that Church
but I can’t find its location
so I place an ad in the paper
asking its pastor to tell me
where the Church is.
What a sap I am.
