Thought Explosion

The Big Bang

By Doug Holder


It's not the bang

so much

as the anticipation

the sensitive hairs

in each of your

expectant drums

your body

retreating into

its seminal

fetal curl

the hands'

feral clawing

and it all

boils

down to

some histrionic

exploding sun,

and then

quite simply

you're done.
