Questions Beget More Questions

How fast is a shooting star?
Meteor showers are amazing.
I saw one the other day.
Some meteors collide with us at a hundred miles per hour.
Aren’t you glad when the reach earth they are the size of a grain of sand?
It makes me wonder though
What happens if they come in at that speed
And hit your skull?
Do they become part of your brain?
Does your body ingest them?
Do you spit them out in gaseous form?
Inquiring mind wants to know.....
