If the Universe Were As Vast by John Tustin

If the universe were as vast

As the glad imagination of

A five year old boy drawing

Dinosaurs at his kitchen table

In a second floor apartment

In the winter of nineteen and

Seventy six

Then maybe we will just find

Some intelligent life out there

After all.
