#2086 - the other worlds

 



2086

the other worlds

 

are as we are

so they must imagine

   else

 wicked

so the flames consume

 

this is a typical case

 

but something thermonuclear

the oxygen lacking

 

slow down

you’re hurtling

several ways at a rate

 

it’s great to be matter

and exist

 

get dizzy trying to measure

 

still, one day, we must set off

or this could be the past

 

other worlds will bloom and fade

like nations to their glory

 

and make a firm commitment there

give me a better account

 

the nozzle tip of progress

nosing out the workers, their worse

 

nothings dragging the whole planet down

 

even a tree was never forever

 

it’s leaf over leaf to the heavens above

so the light’s tricked from each day

 

it’s good when nothing happens

 

aliens crawl through the sky

just so that we’ll believe

 

 








 

 

but I wouldn’t be a being

if there weren’t any after all

 

would you?
