“Do you know why it is…why time goes on forever,
but we don’t?” the other asked the one.
With tears gracing down their face and words
running out, the one spoke
“Yeah, I do. But I was never too concerned with that,
it was always your question to answer”
They both felt it, bursting, together.
The other began to cry and cry and cry;
rivers rushed underneath their disappearing feet,
oceans emerged, deserts consumed;
the next world began its plight.
Trembling, breathless, the other collapsed at the one's feet, both were unable to walk now.
