COSMIC RAYS

Cosmic rays that have floated through space ever so slowly, building up speed as they enter our atmosphere, are penetrating me at this moment. At the point where they hit my skin, they split off into multiple fragments, some shimmer along the surface, bump bumpy riding over the pores and the hairs and the nipples, some go just under the skin and ride along the veins, silent like a submarine, and some penetrate deep into my gooey insides, setting off a chain reaction that fills my whole meaty self with glowing cosmic sching.
