Elucidating Questions

No future is ever clear

Have you looked outside?

And seen the billion billion billion possibilities of anything

And something always goes sideways

And when it’s future becoming now it’s always messy

I don’t know whether to embrace the absolute chaos of the universe

Or stick my head in the ground and pretend it doesn’t exist

The possibilities are endless and anything can happen

Physics?

I raise you black holes.

Anything

What if this is just something that happens?

A universe explodes and then expands and then shrinks into a tiny marble and explodes again

And anything can happen in between

Life?

As unlikely as that was.

And whatever it means to be alive.

I wonder if there’s something harvesting the energy our universe gives off as it expands and collapses.

No not gods, but giants are bigger than the universe

There could be more than one universe

The ultimate question could have been

Could there be a universe?

And the answer is simply yes and we are a product of that answer

Do we answer to anybody?

Isn’t that terrifying?

Think of all those Christians who are only “good” because “God” told them so…

How many “good” people would be terrible knowing there’s nothing to answer to?

Maybe it’s better to (probably) incorrectly assume there’s a higher power just so that all of these worthless sacks of meat will behave themselves.

I pray to the sun that the sun keeps shining

I pray to the earth that the earth keeps spinning

I pray to the galaxy to protect us from asteroids and wandering black holes

You know, pointlessly I ask them to do these things

But really I’m just a desperate little human.

And there are billions of possibilities

That somehow all fit in the universe
