Wake up to sip hot coffee
while the sun burns
at 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take a shower and brush teeth
while the earth spins
A thousand miles per hour.
Get in car and drive to work
while black holes envelop
billions of gases and dust.
Jog around my hometown
while the universe expands
trillions of miles away.
Sleep in bed to repeat again
while the closest rock
shines 238,855 miles from Earth.
