60 seconds
A lot can happen in 60 seconds and even more in a minute.
You can floss your teeth
and tie your shoes
or blink 12 times within it!
A hummingbird flaps 4,000 times,
there are 59 weddings
and 3 parking fines
(in Melbourne).
300 lightning strikes hit Earth.
250 mothers give birth.
5 earthquakes rattle the world someplace,
but have you ever wondered what happens in space?
For every minute of every day
there’s a cosmic supernova display.
Fireworks on the grandest scale,
a blinding, flashing starburst wail,
as 60 stars begin to implode
their cores superheating until they explode.
Imagine?
Who’d have thought there was that much power?
Makes me wonder what happens each hour.
