So If You See Me Walking All Alone

Seldom Scene: There's a Train Leaves Here This Morning

The atoms of our bodies
are traceable to stars
that manufactured them
in their cores
and exploded these
enriched ingredients
across our galaxy,
billions of years ago.
For this reason, we are
biologically connected
to every other
living thing in the world.
We are chemically connected
to all molecules on Earth.
And we are
atomically connected
to all atoms in the universe.
We are not figuratively,
but literally stardust.
