The Big Bang was quiet
as an empty house. Just a lightbulb coming on in a darkened room. A cool draft expanding down a long hall. And no one home to say a word or budge an inch, the landlord largely absent. Could that be him now, the sound of footsteps coming up the walk? A letter in the mailbox. A black cat in the window with any number of eyes. |
