Big Bang’s primordial orgasm
spawned all things universal.
Burning plasma seared molecular souls
until fully satiating quantum lust.

After expanding across millions of millennia,
loneliness became cosmically comprehensive
when immense distances lay
between solitary stars.

From monogamous orbits,
faithful planets never strayed,
hurtling through space in chaste harmony
with far-flung planetary neighbors.

But icy-hearted comets,
in cold stellar wastelands,
yearned for jealous vengeance
upon warmer climates,
triggering fly-by extinctions
of prehistoric life on earth.
