Alone

Alone

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Intelligent 

life.

Alone?

Other worlds?

Universe!

Ninety one

billion 

light years 

across.

Universe!

Two trillion

galaxies.

Hundreds

of billion

stars per

galaxy.

Galaxies

billions 

of light 

years 

distant.

Light taking

longer to

arrive than

earth’s existence.

How 

could it

be known?

How 

could it

possibly be

known?

Known if

civilizations exist 

billions 

of light years

distant.

Somewhere 

in two trillion

galaxies.

How could

it be

known?

Are we

alone?

Fools

question.

Move on.
