Them & Us

21 June 2008
Kew, England

a google of stars,
less than one mind's connections :—
one&all are 1.

insignificant :—
that's the figure to the right
of infinity

quantum states display
an affinity for chance
with their coloured charm

20 billion years
have elapsed from that first start
yet we fate defy

mid-sized yellow sun
blue planet with carbon life
what's the odds of that ?
