Spinning

An entire universe in motion

Spinning, spinning

Am I at the center?

Spinning, spinning

Slow-exposure,

true north star at the center,

could make the theory of me seem correct,

as if I am the measure of all things, relativity is relative to me,

and around the universe circles,

spinning, spinning.

How misleading a picture can be.

The opposite of self is wonder.

Consider that all is in motion, hurtling through a universe,

Spinning, spinning

Forces of life too improbable to imagine, that made me me.

I may take none of the credit for the most brilliant thought I might think,

all is a gift to me. . .

my functioning brain a legacy of chromosomes merged,

DNA dancing,

Neurons fired on my grandparents first date.

Their spark is my existence.

The tires of the bicycle traveling through the small town

Spinning, spinning
