Glittering confetti
lingering from the Big Bang party
formed a disco ball of stars
over the universe's dance floor.
Comets and asteroids still
play in an ancient band
while planets and moons
sway to the beat.
message from spaceship to earth
telepathic images
nightmares to reality
stardust drops in space
the glow of a million suns
forming a comet's rainbow
injected nanobots
breaking the code
human DNA reprogrammed
