I was once told I am the universe It’s body and it’s mind I’ve existed endlessly Through every moment in time And in that second I was puzzled I saw myself as much too small And though they tried to help me comprehend I couldn’t help but think them false But then I looked into mirror And I saw planets And stars And then I blinked And as fast as they came They were gone But it’s okay because I think I finally understand How the universe exists In something trivial as man -Carissa Williams
