The world's best scientists

​​meet to study whether the earth will continue forever
or whether the end is in sight.
 
One scientist says
the earth’s orbit spins in synchronicity with man’s ignorance so it will go on forever.
 
One scientist says
god has thrown heaven’s garbage into this hole and the weight of all that garbage exceeds critical mass so we will all be killed.
 
One scientist who was raised
in a good home says
look at how many organisms coalesce
and reproduce. Cell division all of nature and the deep oceans are very divine.
 
One scientist says,
shit.
 
The first scientist
who was the greatest scientist of all
stands in front of the committee and says
listen to me.
 
One scientist in the back of the room
pulls the fire alarm.
 
Listen to me listen to me says
the first scientist as the committee scrambles from the room.
 
Isn’t this beautiful
​says the scientist whose family loved him.
