THE UNIVERSE

The Universe
is a stretch of beach
be-spotted with the turds of gulls
each spray or puddle is unique:
The Galaxies

YES!! Not even Jesus, Right?
So right.
i find the movement in the poem interesting, how it begins with “the universe” and quickly narrows down to seagull turds and then expands back out to the “the galaxies,” and it makes me think of how vast the universe is, yet how it contains all of these little things, each one unique. that is quite a journey in six lines! thanks for the ride.
Thanks for this well-thought-out comment. Thank you for reading.
