As the Vortex Goes Down The Drain
by Some Quark Based Matter 
 
What’s next in line after our fall? 
A bursting star? 
A new universe, perhaps, null state our fate? 
 
Before the gods we swear 
with our speck of time devoted. 
This ring I wear? 
To that I swear devotion. 
But to myths and ghosts? 
By what right do I to you 
or you to eye for and I-question sanity. 
 
The universe expands and others bloom 
Some fade never making the grade. 
And we in our infinite wisdom 
on oaths made to ghosts 
as if the gods could care 
from such simple minded hosts. 
 
Energy-souls/ chaos every where, 
Loose to coalesce and break apart 
A holographic play of the grand. 
played in our sand box 
rewind compress restart.
