The universe
wasn’t the first
thing ever to exist
no – top of that list
was a Big Fat Nothing
then a Weird Kind of Buzzing
then a whole lot of instantaneous Pushing and Shoving
where all the atoms got spanked
and which, according to Planck,
instantly cranked
this whole Crazy Mechanism into Existence
and Kept On Going with Singular Persistence
weather permitting
– a lot from a little from where I’m sitting
