exist-ence

it's been said 

that if one could 

somehow manage to

all at once 

bend 

space and time 

then one

could travel 

even

faster 

than light

 

light

in a fraction

of a second

moves farther

than most people

do in a lifetime

but baby

cocktail shrimp

are so pink

and you wonder

how many you can 

stuff into the 

space 

between your husband’s 

ears

 

it’s not a

sexual thing

nor a warp 

in the 

belly-button of

eleven dimensions

with all that

cosmic lint

trapped inside

it’s simply

there
