I sang to the universe:

"Will you explain please?
I'm ever so confused!"

I ponder.
I stretch, foot tapping, eyes wide, ear drums sizzling off-beat.

An unknown noise comes from the distance.

"Could it be you, God?"

Nothing.

"HELLO."

Is God real?
Is God unreal?

The birds chirp loudly
louder
LOUDER

"Shut your tiny bird mouths!" I HOLLER
I Holler
I holler
i holler.

I amend:
"I'm sorry."

I pretend:
"That was rude of me."

I contend:
"It won't happen again"

I turn away, dust fills my lungs and I
sigh.

The universe turns to me, its body shifting slowly. Is it in pain?
It asks:

"Which part?"
