If I were larger than life,
that is to say bigger than this life,
or maybe just surrounding the planet.
But not engulfing it, or smothering it, or even holding it in my hand,
Just out in space
floating off close to the Moon
where the breeze is sometimes gentle, but doesn't knock you to the ground.
The sun is far enough away it doesn't cast shadows of you and I
so we can't see the past clear enough to determine our fate.
Maybe there are angels,
but then again who believes in God enough anymore anyways for him to send any?
I can see everyone I know from the height of the Milky Way
and everything below looks all melty like an old ice cream sandwich left out too long.
If there is enough sugar and chocolate to go around we'll all turn sweet
but I think someone has their itchy finger on the nuke button now,
and the stars are shooting down to Earth
and covering all in fire and death and destruction,
but I am safe from my spot on Jupiter,
just enjoying the sights.
Maybe I'm already dead?
