The Inexplicable Nature of our Expansion

by Cadence McCracken
(Martinez, CA)

What great energy
has manifest
itself in form of matter
and man?
What choice or chance
led to unbridled expansion,
constant creation
on a swirling cosmic span,
endless and meaningless
as far as clueless matter can see?
Left here to wonder,
"Who dreamed of me?"
Blue in the face with thought
and questions
nothing alive could know
the answers to,
collectively we cry our query:
"Who?"
