when you're ready to leave earth
then will we contact you

Aereonauts like gods of old
living in the sky




- right now
there are a great many matters
that are pressing in on us

- that compete for the money it takes
to send people to other worlds

- should we solve those
problems first?

- or are they a reason
for going?

- we're on such a mission
to learn how to listen

- to learn how to exhale
in areas without air

- To think about properties
beyond our very reach

- we are billions living here now
there finally our time arrived

- the Sun hurt my eyes
so we're heading home







- but home where?
that's such an earthly
thing to say
