Your body was dancing through black streets
Or perhaps it was colored hallways
I didn’t care really,
So I didn’t pay attention
To those minor
Unimportant details.
The waterfall was flowing though
Through the long stretch of earth
That your body danced in.
I at one point found it beautiful
And imagined that the world was finally at ease.
My judgment was wrong, imagination got the best of me.
The walls, trees, grass, telephone poles, streetlights,
Dumpsters, cars, birds, bugs, humans, and life
Melted into the waterfall
And flowed off into the dark universe
Where a picnic basket awaited their arrival.
“To what is the occasion for such company?”
Asked a curious star to the slowly decaying world.
“I fear I cannot take it anymore, I have given up and am
Becoming one with the sun, do what you wish,
with the waterfall.”
The earth replied, and sank deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Within the smoldering and ruthless sun.
The universe was full though
No room for gray lifeless waterfalls.
The star dumped the picnic basket
And let it flow
Until nothing was left but dust.
And the earth as well as the waterfall
Were soon forgotten by the cosmos.
