Notes About The Poem

2/13/2025 for Pick-A-Title, Vol 49 Poetry Contest, sponsored by Edward Ibeh

Implosion

The universe grows with such momentum,
galaxies go where the big bang sent 'em - 
expanding forever. 
Bully for the universe,
but I feel I'm going in reverse,
fearing something worse
with no hope whatsoever.

I feel I'm not growing, but shrinking,
and I feel that I must be sinking,
see?
Galaxy-size problems loom,
and I can feel impending doom.
Will gravity one day consume
me?

Universal expansion, I don't begrudge,
yet, I myself cannot budge,
and as I give up all resistance,
Newton's force has me thrashed,
one by one my hopes are dashed,
and I am slowly, surely smashed
into one point of non-existence.

And continue writing poems, no matter where you find yourself.
