When men kill I ask
Where have you gone Carl Sagan
You’re too good for us
—
Rise and go outside
Look at the sky and realize
It’s fine not to know
—
Gaze into the sky
And ask yourself this question
Why not ask her out
—
Why must space be black
Why not white or green or blue
Or something weirder
—
We are flecks of dust
In a vast timeless cosmos
Eat the damn Snickers
—
We are all trapped here
And not even astronauts
Can escape this place
—
Sometimes I listen
To sad music on iTunes
And think about space
—
For forty years now
We’ve only gone to the moon
What about the rest
—
Shiny blue marble
Spins In cold black emptiness
Why is it you’re here
—
It pains me to think
Human beings can never know
All that is out there
—
Gravity is good
For the exact same reason
Gravity is bad
—
It will hurt your mind
To comprehend what it can’t
So keep your mind here
—
We are only one
Of one hundred billion earths
Millions galaxies
