Incomprehensible

The universe is large, I'm told. The portion that I traverse isn't.
Small and clogged with whiny children, it appears to shrivel
As I mark the time before I sleep, and my own can, at last,
Expand, the way that physicists believe. They're dopes,
I know. Time never started, and the vastness of existence,
Infinite, would humble me if I could push beyond these
Shackles to engage it. Would I fail? I would, as have those
Academics. Where we find ourselves is large. It stretches
Without end, past the paltry limits they've proclaimed.

If you can fit the entire container (the universe) into your head and turn it into content, why bother traveling? After all, leaving is already being there in your mind!

Apparently the universe is inconceivably finite. Especially when compared as you say to our limited lives. You have very deep thoughts before you sleep. I usually think of trivial things. Maybe it's because you are a poet.
