started the sun

I started the sun this morning
Searched high and low
and found the key
figured out the lock
and opened it up

there was the engine
I found a lever
wound it to the brink of breaking
and presto!
the world became lit
with these rays, some describe them as light
they penetrate everything
and warm one’s skin

the animals thanked me
they knew when to wake up
the people thanked me
they knew when to sleep

then some friends of mine
or at least, I thought they were friends
documented the whole event
and wrote it down
as if someone else started the sun
and the earth and the other planets, and the stars
and the moon
shimmering so brightly the reflection I allowed it
they wrote it down in a book
and so many believe it’s true

but the truth is,
I started the sun this morning.
Don’t you believe me?
