A supernova is a “powerful and luminous explosion of a star.”

Runaway nuclear fusion                                                             Massive star

                     Incredibly beautiful remnants 

                                                                        Damaging effects                Core-collapse

                   Vaporized, to space

Did you know that if a supernova occurred within 25 lightyears of planet Earth, we would all die?

I’m pretty afraid of supernovas.

Are you?

I mean, something that large? That burning hot? That powerful? Just, burning up. Blowing up. Exploding.

What else explodes? Volcanoes, geysers, hot springs. Light bulbs can too, right? Fact-check me on that.

Light bulbs can explode from a lack of insulation, I was right.

People can explode too. 

Have you ever?

Do you know the feeling?

                                                                                                                              Palms, clammy

                                                                                           Heart, sprinting

                                                           Throat, closing

                        World, spinning

Me, losing it.

Are you losing it?
I think we all are a little. 

Are you dangerous?
Like a supernova.

Are you a supernova? Be honest.

Is this making you feel anything? Are you thinking at all? Reflecting, refining?

Please do. 

Dry mouth?              Chills?            Sweating?            Trembling?            Razor-sharp teeth? 

             Skin-penetrating claws?                                               Raised hackles? 

I told you that you were dangerous,

You Supernova. 

Are you going to take me away?
Lock me up in the loony bin, where you know you belong?

Do you understand my message?
Do you have the wit, the skills? 

The intelligence?
Don’t try to depoliticize my message.

Do you climb the ivies after hours?

And do you cross the barrier of tendency?
Do you bleed, integrated with the system?

My heart, it’s filled with disease. My nails dig into the skin. And I rip, and I tear, and I jerk, I wrench!

I Heave

And I Haul

I Force

I Slash

I Gash

I Twist

I Peel

I Split. Are you seeing this? Do you see the dirt on my face, the mud in my hair, the tears in my eyes? You did this to me, you know. You don’t?

You should by now.

I’m evil.

I’m evil. 

I’M YOU. 

I’M YOU.

I’M YOU.

I AM YOU.
