The Universe

for Jennifer


The Universe was born out of a singularity and
is composed of but one lonely verse. 
It is expanding in search of another Universe.
Then, as a Multiverse, they might merge one day. 

In the Universe we also find stars and planets all alone. 
Even those that have the company of debris or moons
cannot touch them or by those be touched.
This is a scenario of a certain gravity.

Comets and meteors provide orgasms
when they crash into a celestial body.
The larger the crashing object the greater the spasm.
Material spread out in circles of pain, later pleasure. Or even life.

We too are a by-product of this truly divine sex.

Planets ova; comets sperm.

Space nuts?

«Comets are thought to contain materials that have remained largely unchanged since the formation of the Solar System. They incorporate compounds that are rich in carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

Intriguingly these are the elements that make up nucleic and amino acids, the essential ingredients for life as we know it; and there are some who believe comet impacts in the early years of the Solar System could have seeded the Earth with the right chemical precursors for biology.»

And if those "some" are ever proven to be right, then I suggest Comets to be renamed to Semenets.
