Our journey began in another century,
In another millennium — in some other world
A monolith sang the music of the spheres,
And here on earth two of its creatures woke
From dimness to discovery of each other,
Opening wide a separate universe
To live inside each other opening wide
A separate universe to live inside …
Inhabitants inhibited the moon:
We traveled through its eye of love to stars
And quantum leaps instantly infinite
Entangled them in a special space and time
Far from the Hallmark hype, the diamond heart,
The unopened box of chocolates left behind.
