Space

By Barkha Poptani

I don't know how it feels to be like up there

I guess Mr Armstrong knows

I wish Miss Chawla took me there

As the dog was carried though

I wish I could see the travel of the billions years

Of The stars that are visible into

I wish I could merry go round the sun without turning to ashes

And see through a black hole with all the possible dimensions if all put through

I wish I could wave an Hie to my friends

And see the sea side from up above

I wish I could wish from the asteroid all these to let me through

To see how the space actually spaces the earth from our moon

I wish I could countdown my years from Mars instead

And maybe find another galaxy and my existence in another worth indeed

I wish I could lie in all the dimensions relative to space and time

I wish I could hold an atom in it's quantum state

I wish I could hold myself from decoherence and

Watch schrodinger's cat in both dead and alive, my God

I wish I could write equations instead of the stupid poetry

I wish I could pen down all the planets instead

And finally glance through my country's map

Living the actual fact of Mr Sharma
