So little is a stone
But it has seen more sunrises than
You,
Your father,
Your father’s father,
Your father’s father’s father,
Or even his great uncle who used to frolic with dinosaurs
While shooting pool with God himself.
Once, this stone tripped none other than
Eleanor Roosevelt,
Back when it was a little bigger.
It would like you to know that her eyes
Were almost as bright as the birth of the universe.
