That orb there - shining

No, the one to the left

Yes, it’s shimmering -

Who is looking down at us?

Do we share emotions,

Thoughts, personalities?

Can we begin to comprehend

Life on that star, or another,

Or life anywhere besides here?

What do houses look like there,

The idea of home - is there one?

If there is not, we would have

To figure out a whole new way

Of thinking, and what a chore

That would be. Would they

Even welcome us? I wouldn’t,

If things were the other way around

We are invasive

So let’s sit on this grass

Enjoying what we have here

Until it is taken away,

Deservedly
