Oreo of a Universe

by Robin B. Lipinski


Linear palate’; infinity table’; cosmic rumblings
Frumpy invitations forgotten; star wizened woman of stellar ambitions sated with
Man on the moons of cheese
Stinky
Pink rings of fried nova suns.

Strings of comets; wrinkled meatballs if only meat; frozen surface of hot flashed speed

So much inside/outside; All-you-can eat
buffet.

And then,
then…
and then,
again…
A never ending display of gluttony
of such huge portions
proportional… and… what’s that?

OMG!
The Hand!
The right, the left, and in between/’’’/…
Tongue!

Rippled; Tearing even the fabric of time
Black holes roaring down the hole
Distortions
Reality
Famine/feast
Feast/famine
Consuming the sweet spot, that special treat reserved
for gods.

The End
