but it’s only half a blink

every thousand years / this metal sphere
ten times the size of Jupiter / floats just a few yards past the earth
you climb on your roof / and take a swipe at it
with a single feather / hit it once every thousand years
‘til you’ve worn it down / to the size of a pea
yeah I’d say that’s a long time
but it’s only half a blink / in the place you’re gonna be
