Describe your life in an alternate universe.
I told you about the man who's
Been living on the moon. He has
A source of water so he like we
Stays hydrated. But you didn't ask
About him or his issues with food
On account of there's no cheese
There. You wanted to hear about
My life in an alternate universe not
His. On the moon. My alternates
Are deep in the core of this green
Earth. [Still no cheese.] Truth to tell
Not very green deep in the center
Of the earth, in its beautiful heart.
Life up on top was lusher, greener
More verdant but that's just being
Redundant. Alternative universes
Swirl among the stars. I am over
The moon. Somewhere behind
Our sun and up over the rainbow
We can play dodging black holes
And golf ball sized meteors no
Longer buried deep inside earth.
This is some alternative to life as
I have known it; as we know it.
