I licked the cosmos.
It tasted like minty ice cream.
The stars like sugar sprinkles.
The planets like dirty worms.
The texture was uneven,
Galaxies being what they are,
But most of ‘em were swirly.
A delicious endeavor,
This intergalactic sampling,
But then my tongue hit a dark hole
And my face disappeared.
It’s sitting up there somewhere
Locked within the confines
Of an event horizon.
A surprised look
Frozen for eternity.

Einstein told us to think this way.
Who am I to say no?

I forwarded the thumbnail to a lady artist here on DA as one of her pieces reminded me of your poem. I think you will know what part of your poem I thought of. LOL!
