Under My Skin

When the meteor hit

The deep earth didn’t notice

When the ice age came

The deep earth yawned

When we finally consume everything on the surface

The deep earth will care as little

As an elephant

Threatened by a flea

Before the first sea sponge

Wriggled in the mud

Trillions and trillions of microbes

Basking in the heat

Of earth’s molten core

Percolated

Ate

Reproduced

Grew

Hibernated

Rose again

Now

They unknowingly wait

To once again

Bubble to the surface

And populate the latest

Garden of Eden
