Earth and Universe – Written December 1992 (Aged 17)

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
