Uncondensing Universe Poem by Luce Darwin

Uncondensing Universe



When you are young
Your life is condensed
Your grandmother is drinking out of a mug
Your mother is on the phone
Her frown is making you sad
You are tired;
Your eyes shutting and
You grab at her dress
To put you to bed
Then you get older
You are a teenager
And you are in love
Your grandmother is no longer drinking
her black coffee from a mug;
Your grandfather bought her at a yardsale;
While he spend more money than he had
Your mother is no longer talking on the phone
She is yelling at your father;
Asking for a divorce
You are now an adult
And stressed to breaking
Bored and sick of routine
No longer in love; brokenhearted
The coffee cup is now made of atoms;
It was broken to peices and thrown out
When it fell from your grandmothers hand;
When she was told her husband had died
Your mother is lonely,
She calls you to complain
You are all she has left
You don't know where your father is;
Though you have no to time to worry
You are alone now too
And everything is so big,
But made of such small things

...sad poems. You realise how big the things are even though you thought they were small. When things change, they change forever... Thanks for sharing this :) -Wu
