Everything must begin
My daughter comes home from college for spring break
And tells me she is the universe, holding
A red giant in her hand; the rings of Saturn
Are her sisters drawn with Uranus breath and born from elephants.
Jill, your father will lay eggs if he hears you talking of these things.
The world only understands the universe in physics-
Big boom theories; Newton’s Apple, and I love fucking science.
Nothing connects the creation of the universe to human being.
Mom, metaphor makes anything possible; I love you like an orange
And humans created it. People weep in irony, walk in simile; speak in theme,
And believe in paraphrasing as they fight over the apostrophe.
Why can’t I be the universe in MFA?
