The cosmos came
kept circling
God never came
he didn't remember the directions
The cosmos kept circling and circling
small groups of fish
in pacts,
swimming through pools of water
across the green, vacant land

Boulders came
from the rough rocks pillaged together
as the flight of silence came
then broke out the winds gasp
small reptiles; dinosaurs roaming
Skies lit with clusters of stars
bridges
channels
until ice fell over
with the tundra at its heart strings.

Earth stood still
until a certain ape came around
primate
slowly evolving
into an odd species

Human
Hunters, gathers
survival of the fittest
and, slowly,
man evolved,
woman touched grace
gladiators fought
the coliseum filled; stone made, ridges crevassed at each corner
tunnels underneath each side
running parallel to one another

Until we reached the plains of the midwest
Untouched
remnants of nature still resting along
the colony of trees that
ran along the edge of the fields
bordering the hollow, dirt paths

Cornfields rampant
porches steady
against Falls breeze
separate
still pieced together by the palm of earths hand
train tracks running from east to west
quietly silver
simply a resident
along the melancholy of the quiet plains of the midwest.
