BEGINNINGS : The Universe

The Universe is a thing. Oh yeah.
And it made every thing.
And it’s made of every thing.
And it is every thing and contains every thing.
And it is itself and contains itself.
And that’s the beginning
and the end of it.
ii And the Universe is infinitely full ~
Almost full of nothing, yes
But also a comparatively little something
And a comparatively almost non-existant life
And a comparatively infinite love.
iii And the Universe is the same as
Art and god and infinite and love,
Because these words mean the same thing.
iv And not you or anyone will ever understand
Why the Universe happened
And this, although true, is also
Perfectly ok.
v And the Universe came to produce
The marvellous, intelligent, sexy apes
Who called themselves Humans
And this is a great mystery too.
vi And the Humans, like all living things, are rare
And complicated, and mysterious.
vii And the artists who live among them,
And outside of them,
Are painfully scarce, wildly sensitive,
Soulful, deeply mysterious, paradoxical,
And utterly necessary.
