I
in the beginning there wasn’t that much
just a whole lotta nothing & nowhere & such
till a big bang sprang right outta the chasm
in an unexpected creation spasm
(though why you’d interrupt infinite snoozing
is actually the thing I find most confusing)

II
after a while humans jumped up
fashioned tools and got quite pumped up
thought themselves the absolute nuts
quickly jogging from caves to huts
cities, castles, countries, kingdoms
hunting deer to bumping incomes

III
invented gods who were smart like them
so armies could rampage and say amen
all the while using the earth like a pit
for mining more stuff and then burying it
till the universe said the experiment’s dead
turned out the lights and went back to bed
