Story Notes

Summary

Staring up at the stars, have you ever felt small but also connected to something much bigger? The Big Bang happened around 13.7 billion years ago. One cataclysmic event drew the future of planets, galaxies, asteroids, Earth, and humans. These tiny specks in the universe formed cosmic threads. Love, anger, sorrow, lust began to bloom, fade, and blossom again. Is humanity ready yet, or will they look up for a moment?

Planetarium

Whitewashed walls, shiny floors,

Ten college girls enter, hand in hand,

We enter a vacuum—

Vendors gossip, colas hiss,

UFO catchers miss,

Babies bawl, our stomachs growl,


’Cause it’s easy

Easier to pretend that

We’ll always be together.


Pull the starlit shroud

These blueprints are allusions

That make us crave of the unknown—

Pendulums rock, pterodactyls squawk,

Dioramas are more than paper or clay

Planetariums are places

Where moons are clear as skies in May,


Back then, it’s easy

Easier to pretend that

We’ll always be together.


Shrill shrieks, cheek to cheek,

Does the universe share our secrets?

Chests pounding at the sight of wax

How long will this tunnel last?

Do we escape the labyrinth

or let these moments pass?


’Cause it’s easy

Easier to pretend that

We’ll always be together.
