Just Imagine That

The rotting brain of a dead mule

who never spent a day in school

has as much prestige as

any one of us has.

A junkyard full of dead cars

has been discovered on Mars.

The reason why stars twinkle

explains why fabrics wrinkle.

You can discover anything

by just simply imagining.

Don’t bother me with the facts

about the causes of earwax.

Nothing we wanted to know

will matter after we go.
