Word Worth

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Big Bang, Carbon Pain

The chicken and the egg,
The accident of birth,
Time out of mind,
The synonym of word.
Salt and pepper, Baby,
Just what are we worth.

The egg and the chicken,
The accidental birth,
Mind out of time,
The antonym of word.
Rock and roll, Baby,
Juxtaposition of worth.

Things of wonder, well penned.

Hmm, I wonder what existed before - the big bang.
Could there be gazillions of big bangs occurring throughout the infinite?

Answers on a postcard.

Yes, haven't seen you here in a long time. But I'm trying to fathom the meaning of your poem. There is something in the "accidental birth" that you are attempting to tell us about and of course, carbon, essential for all life and seeming to cause a non-reversible situation growing in our very lives.

Good to see you writing again, Erin, as I rarely write anymore, just lost my muse somewhere...might be the dialysis machine I am on three times a week of late...-Ed-
