The Lost Epoch of Cosmic Time

 

The Lost Epoch of Cosmic Time

 
                       In the shards and splinters of time
                          The cosmos reigned sublime
                            And upon the galaxies of the universe,
                              Divinity cast her resplendent sheen

                         As Kaleidoscope danced with Infinity,
                            The gods of Astrophysics and Math
                                Bequeathed the children of tomorrow
                             As one named Albert,
                               With some before and several to follow

                         An existential cornucopia
                        Of optics and metrics and the
                           Splendid symmetry and vortex
                              Of binary construct and the montage
                                 Of Tapestry and Topology,

                        Gave Creativity and Existence -
                        From trillions of light years away, pause ...
 
 
                " Clever, these Earthlings "
                   said Creativity.

            " Yes, and how long have we
                   been watching them? " said Existence.
 
            " Ten million years for the California Condor, and
                   oh, a million years or so, for the Earthlings. "
                        said Creativity.

            " Well," said Existence,
                       " What do you think? "

         " You've been asking me that
            About every fifty thousand years -
              Touch and go, I would answer - too tribal perhaps,
                  To evolve much more." said Creativity.

                " They were your idea! " said Existence.

                    " No, no!" said Creativity "
                      " They were the Earth Diva's idea;
                         And we said we wouldn't interfere! "

   " Oh, that's right ..." said Existence,
 
    " We both agreed about two hundred thousand years ago,
          That the Earth Diva must know what She is doing -
              After all, She made us both! - Two twin brothers! "

                   " I know, I know " said Creativity
                       " And you were able to choose first,
                         Therefore Smart you are, though I
                           Was by default, given Handsome! " 
 
  " Yes, and that reminds me" said Creativity.
                    " I set up a double date for us
                          With two absolutely divine sisters -
                             Glenda and Godiva! ..."

          " Here we go again! " interrupted Existence.
                                        
            " No, no, closer this time " said Creativity
               " Only a googol and light year
                   From the here and now -
                     So program the Inverse Quantum Spectrum.
                      We are meeting them within an Earth hour,   
                          Atop the fifth apex of the Aurora."
 
                                            
                 " Ok, ok already! " said Existence,
                    As he mumbled aside: 
                        " Pulchrum est quad, pulchrum est "
                               
                ( Latin " handsome is, as handsome does " )
