eternal hacker metaphysicians
playing games with starlight
(not technically dice
nor technically gods
so Einstein's safe for now)
one hides the spider candy
inside glass rainbows
another kisses constellations
until they see an earth shape
coalesce inside a milkshake swimming pool
a cathedral forest grows from a misplay
but there are no do-overs
a card laid is a card played
sequoias
waterfalls
scorpions
killer dolphins
stepped pyramids
kittens called Michael
ordering online office groceries
Tumblr
seed banks
fusion rockets
orbital colonies
all knocking on the door asking
can we play
