So, the Universe and I had everything to do but instead

So, the Universe and I had everything to do but instead

decided to walk out to the edge and take a look at it all.

“Some pretty heavy shit, man.” Says the Universe to me.

I tilt my head and say, “Seems that way from here.”

“Just wait till you get up close.” Says the Universe.

“I will.” I reply.

I contemplated what that meant for a moment

then decided to not move at all,

thinking that it was all some sort of test.

Then I remembered the cookies.
