If there is no life after life
then what cosmic spendthrift formed
the universe
for chance alone can't be that prolific
or fake an order
in which an accident of such proportions
as the creation of a world
seems so inevitable
each random element falling pat into place
and each consiousness promptly appearing
with body parts all neatly assembled--
only to be squandered
falling apart, dissolving into nothingness
while chance grinds out newer odds
If there is no life after life
then what a lack
of cosmic economy,
for nature strings one molecule
on to another, so craftily
that each seed can grow a tree
and contains the properties
of an entire forest
while multiplications
are hidden
everywhere.
