eternity

comprehend a purpose
what were you meant to be?
a teacher, a student
a lover, a wife, a husband
a boy, girl, dog or cat

we just appear
we wonder what happened
that tiny little sperm
the over bearing egg

can we go back?

move forward to turn back into that sperm
move back in time to become that egg
twist and shout at night asking questions
what does the world have for me?

i am young now, so i'm allowed to think
when i get old, i will be allowed to think
i'll be that ear that listens
that lisps, that frowns
going together
forever indeed

make another sperm and egg
create life
through martinis and scotch
wondering where my pants are
following an undying light
the gate keeper to the realm is the lighthouse
the elephant, the brain, the fall, the rise

the will for freedom
can this be what's in that tiny little egg
is this what we call life?

this is what we call eternity.
