Rainbow Spheres
Sometimes I imagine that I can hold the world in my hand.
Opening and closing it's gaping vastness like the rainbow spheres.
I toss it up in the air and it shoots open like an exploding star,
only to fall back to me and shrink under the pressure of space.
Twisting and bending, it folds over itself like I did so many times,
enclosing all its energy within a plastic skeleton.
Plastic, so delicate a substance to build a world on.
