Space looked nothing like I thought it would.

It may have been what you
were once expecting,
but I have to admit…
I’m a little
taken aback.
I guess I’ve never actually
been
this high up,
I’ve never truly
seen
this far.
I just thought there would be
more.
(shame)
Have you always been
so tall?
Have you always been
so high?
That must be nice. You must
see
things nobody else does.
See things
like
nobody else does.
Well I suppose you’ve had years
to pore over these
gargantuan
horizons, haven’t you?
Almost a millennia? Yes.
Yes, I figured it would have been
something
along those lines.
Has it changed much?
Well,
that’s a shame.
A shame.
Shame.
(shame)
Oh no. No,
I’m just thinking.
At my age
there’s no point
dwelling on the melancholy.
Who has the time? Oh, well, yes.
Yes,
I suppose you do.
Do you even
feel
time anymore?
It’s okay, I wasn’t ever
looking
for an answer.
(shame)
“The world
is a fluttering dynamo,” somebody
once said.
Wholly eternal,
and yet morosely
finite, I say. A disappointment
of the finest
quality.
With which do you agree?
Now,
that, is
an interesting take.
The religion of man has
never really been
my forte.
