Imagine it is True

If i pluck a star from the sky,

does it leave a black hole up there?

Is there an event horizon

where there is only time and space?

Was the big bang an explosion?

more likely it is erosion.

The stars are only residue

and all their planets are too.

Are all of us only stardust

or black holes we cannot trust?

Perhaps all of it is a dream

and things aren’t ever as they seem.

Imagination makes it true

so we do what we have to do.
