   My Mom’s turning 93 on October 25. I love this poem but I’d like to request for a literal interpretation of Nikita Gill’s famous poem, “93 Percent Stardust.” Seems obvious but I’d just to make sure. Really appreciate a response! Thank you!!!

     Thanks for the comment, Gigi! I’m not sure, you may want to do a Google search on that. Good luck!

   7% of our bodies is hydrogen, of which stars are made. All the other elements are products of nuclear fusion in the stars, dispersed about each time a star goes nova.

   Thus, 7% of us is Big Bang Original Element, and the remaining 93% is Star Dust.
