#FridayFlash: The planet that God built


This is the planet that God built.

This is the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This was two spheroids, now nary a trace, reduced to ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is a debris field, caught up in a spin,
made from two spheroids, now nary a trace, reduced to ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is new creation, now set to begin, from this debris field, caught up in a spin,
made from two spheroids, now nary a trace, reduced to ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the eon of a planet renewed,
after creation was again begun, from the debris field, horrifically spun,
made from two spheroids, now nary a trace, reduced to ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the iron - flowing, subdued - during the eon of a planet renewed,
after creation was again begun, from the debris field, horrifically spun,
made from two spheroids, now nary a trace, reduced to ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the magnet, ten thousand Gauss,
made by the iron - flowing, subdued - during the eon of a planet renewed,
after creation was again begun, from the debris field, horrifically spun,
made from two spheroids, now nary a trace, reduced to ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the water, the surface to souse, shielded by the magnet, ten thousand Gauss,
made by the iron - flowing, subdued - during the eon of a planet renewed,
after creation was again begun, from the debris field, horrifically spun,
made from two spheroids, now nary a trace, reduced to ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is the Life - engendered, protected -
that arose from the water, the surface to souse, shielded by the magent, ten thousand Gauss,
made by the iron - flowing, subdued - during the eon of a planet renewed,
after creation was again begun, from the debris field, horrifically spun,
made from two spheroids, now nary a trace, reduced to ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

This is Creation, with plans undetected, to bring about Life - engendered, protected -
that arose from the water, the surface to souse, shielded by the magnet, ten thousand Gauss,
made by the iron - flowing, subdued - during the eon of a planet renewed,
after creation was again begun, from the debris field, horrifically spun,
made from two spheroids, now nary a trace, reduced to ejecta, thrown out into space,
thrust by the plasma, (was solid, now not), that used to be core, now superhot,
mixed with the crust, torn all asunder, forced by the impact, horrific thunder,
caused by the speed, so truly immense, possessed by the object, so heavy and dense,
that slammed into the planet that God built.

All on the planet that God built.

  1. It's somewhere between cheating and prosody, but I didn't mind it, Tony. Just have to fight the urge to skim in the early paragraphs/stanzas. The thrust is quite lovely.

  2. And that's a story of creation and the wheel keeps on turning eh.

  3. I am going to read this to Monsterbat. I totally love the rhythm in this. Very clever!

  4. I cheated. It was really good! The words, not the cheating.

  5. Jesus, this was ambitious and you totally pulled it off! Wonderful stuff.

  6. Bravo! This is outstanding Tony, the best way to support the theory that yes, the Big Bang did happen because God wanted it to, (at least that's the way I interpret it).

    1. Close, Deanna! I just posted something explaining this piece.

  7. This was pretty ambitious, but I have to admit I started skipping (cheating) as I got farther along. I've always seen the original piece with illustrations, which helps break up the repetitive text as it goes along. Still, it was very clever.

    (Do you think, of God was a redneck, He'd have said "Hey, y'all watch this!" as He wound up to throw that planetoid?)
