on a Sunday morning
going out for coffee and cake
buying trinkets from a gift shop
a nice loaf of bread for lunch
all because of a cosmic accident
we
an accidental biological soup
prepared just right
all the correct ingredients
tossed in a pot
cooked at the correct temperature
stirred for just the right amount of time
not too hot
not too cold
jigsaw pieces which were thrown at a distant cosmic wall
and came together to form the completed puzzle
matching the picture on the box lid
and here we are
all sat on a lump of spining
cooling
dust and gases
which itself only came together by accident
a series of mishaps after a very careless explosion - the cause unknown
and so an unstable fragment of rock
formed
evolved
developed
into an insignificant planet
a spec of dust
circling around a tiny inconsequential sun
not too hot
not too cold
in a tiny inconsequential galaxy
just one of an infinite number of galaxys
nothing amidst everything else
nothing to anyone
or anything - nothing!
A pin prick on the timeline of "being"
a teeny-weeny scratch on evolution
a single grain of sand on a sandy desert floor - a fly on the arse of an elephant!
And here we are
on a Sunday morning - not too hot
not too cold
going out for coffee and cake
buying trinkets from a gift shop
a nice loaf of bread for lunch!
...how did that happen?
