"I am curious! Are you?" An Interpretation...



I have made a poem that reflects on the famous poem 'I'm Nobody! Who are you?' by Emily Dickinson into a completely different topic but still does follow the structure and idea:

Don’t tell! they'd advertise - you know!

How dreary - to be - Somebody!
How public - like a Frog -
To tell one's name - the livelong June -
To an admiring Bog!




My interpretation of the above:


I am curious! Are you?

I am Curious! Are you?
Are you Curious too?
A pair of us, there is!
Dare tell a lad – and he’ll make an ad!
How astounding – being – Curious.
How open – like a monkey’s cries –
To ask a question – until answered –
To the Curious!

However, before its discovery, it was the established belief both in the realm of science as well as in religion that the universe had been in existence for eternity. The Big Bang theory simply was not compatible with the beliefs of the larger portion of religious sects; for...
