Physicists say
It is impossible
For the universe
To have never been
Or to ever end
It just expands
It just contracts
Forever
Theologians say
It is impossible
For god
To have never been
Or to ever end
It just is
It just was and will be
Forever
I cannot stomach either
My mind is too small
My heart is too small
To manage this idea
That all is
That all was
That all will be
As if everything
It’s happening at once
Forever
