Singularities

7/26/16


I'm not kidding you
This is true

Be wary
Things rarely happen fairly
On either side of the estuaries

Will you do what is necessary
When looking into the face of what is scary?

I wouldn't be carefree
Or ever underestimate any adversary

Therefore the burden shall be carried
Across the entire prairie
And across waters frequented by ferries

Not all are buried
Inside a cemetery

At times I barely
Made it out, and was very
Close to death, took a breath to help prepare me

Meanwhile in space there was singularities
And breakthroughs being made simultaneously
All though some end up being only momentarily

At times the outcome apparently
Went terribly
Temporarily changed the environment and air we breathe
