That Giant Hole in the Sky

Pejah Carr

if you told me
there was a giant hole in the sky,
gaping,
ready to suck us up,
before looking all up in the sky like
huh
i'd probably believe you
because there are just some things
you must accept
like
how you have 10 toes


accept that the sky will change its colors
because it can
and that you will never understand
how planes float so well
when it was just impossible
and that
you will never see yesterday
accept that,
yes,
someone fit an entire ocean into that seashell
and that you will never know why
you keep getting the hiccups
you must accept that washing your back is
difficult
and you will never do it well
accept that there are flowers
and
balloons
and
many different colors
in the sky


accept that you have
24 hours
and that is all
