Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

Big Blue Marble

Sometimes we forget
We are travelling through the cosmos
On a big blue marble
We are a mere speck
In our vast universe

Driving on our big blue marble
I glance at the speed limit signs
Whizzing by at 90 mph
When I notice the blue lights
In my rearview mirror

So I cannot help but ask 
"What does it matter
That I am doing 90
As we speed through space 
At 66000 mph"?

"Tell it to the judge"
The cop tells me
He isn't thinking about 
Our big blue marble

Caren Krutsinger March 12, 2019 at 9:50 PM I guess the cop did not instantly know what the big "blue marble" was. I think it is strange that I did when I saw your title. Timothy Mcguire March 12, 2019 at 9:52 PM You are right Caren
