Earth and Universe
Walking through the universe,
I met a god above —
who wrote poems
and verse.
I sat on a star,
in a two‑finned,
eight‑wheeled car.
I circled the sun —
it made me
feel so young.
And isn’t it fun?
I met fate,
just past Saturn’s rings.
She promised me a life —
and other
strange things.
I talked upon a heaven,
with alien beings,
moving around the earth —
always
seeing.
A giant neon sign above,
swinging
and saying:
self‑destructive turf.
And isn’t it
absurd?
James Garratt – Monday 28th December 1992
