In the beginning our universe
was smaller in volume than an atom,
while after the Big Bang its inflation
is so vast we cannot see its extent,
yet scientists think that it is now “flat”
and still expanding, accelerating
ever faster every second of time
into a macroscopic entity
larger than we are able to conceive.

There is no common present in the world;
each atom contains its own present time;
each person their unique identity
with their talents, achievements, dreams, passion.
Yet everything in the end is but dust.
