The Unknowns of the Universe

Miss X

The first unknown of the universe

She was beautiful,

the perfect marionette.

She chose her faces carefully

and fulfilled other people’s expectations.

He stayed in, careful

to remain clean and correct.

Proper and adaptable,

untouched by mistakes.

And she was considerate and tense,

fighting her battles

with lies, fear, and weaknesses,

and she didn’t believe in illusions.

She was haunted by thoughts,

staring at injustices.

She gently despised her power,

which never penetrated the fate of the world.

And like that, she remained unknown.

Miss Y

The second unknown of the universe

She was shy,

mysterious, and enthralled.

She chose her dreams carefully

and doubted the rules.

She flew with inexperienced passions,

burned by the rain,

invented endless worlds,

and quietly, very quietly, loved the woods.

She was full of questions,

but she never asked them.

She was impatient and never listened to the usual wisdom.

She was upset,

a little sad, and unreconciled.

She never understood

the numb weariness of the world.

And like that, she remained unknown.

Miss Z

The third unknown of the universe.

She was carefree,

understanding the soul of the world.

Safe and forgotten,

she played with the dawns.

She understood dignities,

laughed with her eyes,

and walked silently

among all the suffering.

She was a wanderer,

always meeting with miracles,

and loved the truth

in the non-occurrence of events.

She was incredibly calm,

and had long ago reconciled

with time and space,

becoming a spark within them.

And like that, she remained unknown.
