Space

Space

is mentioned in a conversation.

As in, “I need space.”
As in, “Give me space.”

As in the room will be expanding
to hold a continent
and incredibly powerful telescopes
will be needed to see
each other when we’re in
the same room.

As in voices
needing to build
to supervolcano
to be heard.

As in the stars
over there where
the television
used to be.

As in no air,
gamma rays,
asteroids
and absolute zero.

As in
how far away
other life
may be, if
it exists at all.
