far-flung

The night put out its starry eyes
to focus them all like a lens
one cosmos wide, and brought to bear
upon one tiny specimen -
upon one tiny speck of sand
- who stood upright on some lone beach
"Hey look! He's naked!"

Said the stars

"His thing's so small"
they giggled out across the void
embracing all

beyond all reach

it was so far. He couldn't possibly

have heard.

Yet as if in response, he reared
- and looking at the stars, he roared!

"I'll conquer all of you!"

and disappeared
