2. Cosmic Egg

Darkness.

Our story begins when the universe begins--
Billions of years ago.
The entire universe begins the size of an ostrich egg

And one day, for no good reason,
It exploded into infinity.

From the debris of that cosmic explosion--
which may gave been the orgasm of two mating giant creatures...
which may have been the softly spoken word of an omnipotent Deity...
-- came Everything.

And in the morning, first light...

 
   
   Egg
  .
   
  Explosion.
 
  Whirling star stuff 
   
   
   Vast whirling galaxies
  Earthrise.
