Lyric

Stars float in my morning soup

A swirling galaxy of corn loops

In my spoon, imagination spreads wide

Today’s menu is a tiny universe

Sweet, salty, every single taste

Makes me realize

Even this flavor has its meaning

Like a little piece of philosophy

One-bite-sized cosmology

A Big Bang begins inside my mouth

Pulled by the gravity of tiny joys

A future drawn close to me

Inside my rice ball, a warm little star

Swallowed by the seaweed’s black hole

Someone’s love, a gentle theory

Just that alone can bring me to tears

Memory, feeling, every connection

All tied together by taste

Whenever I remember yesterday

The universe expands anew

One-bite-sized cosmology

A single spice shakes up space and time

Ordinary meals hold tiny miracles

Hey, can you feel it too?

Orbits drawn with knife and fork

Even cold pizza is a fragment of stars

A fleeting moment to taste the world

Then back into infinity

One-bite-sized cosmology

Every flavor carries meaning

Thoughts and wishes become nostalgia

“Let’s eat”—the cue for new beginnings

One-bite-sized philosophy

Every spoonful is cosmology
