Eternity

That light... such an eternity of travel
Piercing the eye like a sword
And all for what?

Photosynthesis?

So that we may eat or eat others blinking in the sunshine?

Odd.

Very odd.

Who thought this up? I ask myself.

Must have been a crap game in Vegas.

"I win? I get to control the speed of light."

"If you lose. No end and no beginning."

"Right."

"A pair of sixes!"

"You win."

"Oh, fuck."
