Dare to drink.
I had this twin.
I had this twin,
thin unseen,
with a weird walk,
or so it would seem.
‘He has no mind’,
people whispered,
but mother knew,
his just had a hole in it.
I had this twin
– a child in his teen,
and while we judged,
he watered the garden green.
He painted a bit on flowers,
and shooed away the bees,
and until I got back from school,
he would wait for me with the keys.
I had this twin
who hugged me at odd hours,
and helped mother during dinner,
after he had gifted her dandelion flowers.
He could not speak
so he would bow down,
and not get up
until she kept her frown.
I had this twin,
without pride and with remorse,
until he fell where I was jumping
while he pushed me away from the shore.
He thought that I would die,
while all it was was a dive,
so while he remains down submerged,
I’ll sleep a little less tonight.

God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—’God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’”

Hope
When infinity gets a limit.
So even though you were a universe, you still had an end.
