There are more cells in your brain
than there are stars in our galaxy
You wonder--and then you wonder
what we've done with it all, with these
constellations of thought, these galaxies
of memory to push us on
as we stand on the shoulders of giants,
the next golden age, just over the horizon
as we rush towards the fate of tyrants:
from the works of Ozymandias
to a worn and shattered face
forgotten in the sand.
