Greater Than Infinity

My infinity is bigger than yours
Infinitely larger, my friend declares
No, your infinity is sadly small bore
I hide bigger in dots of ink, I swear
Every infinity spawns a bigger set
Just as gravitons flash faster than light
Even slow photons pass your infinity, I’ll bet
Endless problems for your infinite night
Infinities of infinities, he derides
Not enough universal time for that
No more than a cube has infinite sides
I’ll take all your infinities and plunk them in my hat
Only because your universe is so tidily small
It compliments your mind, tiny as a bat
I could fit your math objects in a cosmic ball
Add equations and make a universe, just like that!
Then I’d make your integers into infinite dollars
Let you buy a billion periwinkles, infinite times more
Purchase a planet of platinum to forge shirt collars
If you’d find a bank to back the loan to pay the store
At that moment my friend’s head snaps apart
Its only source some stranger’s imagination
Bought on sale from a cart at Walmart
Cheap imitation of a flimsy rumination
Your universe is just a patch of information
No more real than your dreams come true
No more real than you, my fond creations
My infinities always larger than you
