All the Way Down, All the Way Out

You went all the way down past the nucleus, past the noise, down to almost nothing at all. Then the ground gave out and you went all the way up instead, past the moon, past the last star anyone's named, out to where light is still arriving from before there was a you to see it.

All the way down, all the way out Same you, the whole way through All the way down, all the way out Every scale, still you

The atom that's almost nothing and the star that made your bones were never two different stories. One's just the other one, zoomed.

All the way down, all the way out Same you, the whole way through All the way down, all the way out Every scale, still you

Small enough, big enough. Same thing, it turns out.

All the way down, all the way out Same you, the whole way through All the way down, all the way out Every scale, still you Still you.
