NaPoWriMo Day #22

 Off prompt again today!

Teenager

I am king of the cosmos.

Life is a colossal field of stars and 

I rule 

at its center, the most brilliant of them all.

Lesser lives orbit my commanding light—

weak jupiter, failing saturn.

They see me and know God is real.


A weird look,

even by a fleeting stranger on the street,

in the hallway,

on the bus,

—this is the black hole

that devours the sun.
