The Nihilist Dreams

The Nihilist Dreams ;

-

Old mad man Moon, hair longer than time

bars on the window, long rusted lock

playing with fire, exploding match heads

between thumb and teeth, the sulphuric smell

of another universe coming to life,

press restart

spent an eternity refuting and fighting

the definition of insanity

-

another 4 billion years fly by

in the blink of the eye

-

-

          PHFFT

-

-

             another match head gone

-

with trembling fingers and thought

another universe is born

-

-

          PHFFT

-

-

                                 or gone ...

-

-

          PHFFT

-

-

                                    or not...

-

Think On.

Hello, gram! :)
I read it twice to catch the meaning. It’s an interesting scene, and from my perspective, a less than meaningful existence for the match head people; but maybe some of them get dressed up for Sunday service anyway.
