Earth’s Life So Far

He cuts the strings
And dines on blooms
And when he knows
He’ll starve, he’s pleased.

Now, you can type
In a star’s name
And, in a tick,
Find out how far

From you it is.
I mean . . . the plots
Are like mapped dreams
That run from you,

From all of us.
Let’s cut the strings.
The flowers taste fine.
Stars are so far.
