The Big Bang Theory of Bathing
The bubbles in my bath
are a universe of planets
I’m a clumsy cosmic island
making ripples in deep space
putting out their starry lights
bumping into cosmic order
I’m splayed across dark matter
like a swath of milky way

oh I like this. Especially the last two lines, which leave me wondering if you mean MilkyWay as in candy bar, or MilkyWay as in Cosmic. I’m leaning toward MilkyWay the candy bar…
This poem is a great image. I shall carry it with me for my next bath.

Milky Way as in galaxy but chocolate works too.

The most magical moments can often be found without having to leave the house 😉

Love the title… and anything that uses physics terms get me excited.

I do like a bubble bath using those dragon bombs that foam up.

How important it is to be able to view yourself in the world. Being part of the milky way way sounds good I wonder whether I might be a upturned trash can?

Hmmm sci fi in the tub bubbles… Interesting thought! I’m really into star wars BTW. Then pop! N it gets cold. Pop pop pop. Fizz! If only I had time for bubble baths. Thanks for the unusual metaphor that has me thinking this…

Oh my. Never thought of bathing that way!

A soothing revelation one treasures! A feeling of freedom of movements but yet staying put!

Fun to think of my immediate universe as a big bang. How we obliterate and birth the known world over and over!
