Random Consequence

We’re a raucous sack

of atomic molecules

on a spinning rock of atoms

undesigned

and randomly arranged

to form mountains

flatlands

rivers

and oceans

hurtling

through a universe

of hydrogen, helium

and a fuck-load

of dark matter

and dark energy

more atoms

Everything

that’s happened

all that we are

and ever will be

is a giant coincidence

of atoms

coming together

in a particular way

through the

consequential shaking

(at least to us)

of a cosmic snow globe

by a force unknown
