| NASA illustration of Andromeda nearing our Milky Way in 3.75 billion years |
The galaxies won't merge
for five billion years
but I like to think about it
makes this worrisome year
almost nothing at all
and this moment big
for it is mine
whatever age i am
still with my dreams
staring back at me
from every leaf and stone
still waiting to be born
in a little while.
