Would it take 2 seconds?
Maybe 3?
What comes after the silence,
that is what I want to know.

Everything would be light,
then dark, then nothing.

Energy would shift from
my body to earth,
and earth to star,
and star to elsewhere.

I want you to know,
it wasn’t because of you.

This is a question
I have sought for years now.
It’s a pity you coincide with it.
