Nothing Alike

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Nothing.
Nothing
alike.
When
they arrive,
what to
expect?
How
different?
How
alike?
Alien
origin,
development.
Parallel or
divergent?
Alien
paths.
Vision of
things
tempered
by origin,
design.
How likely
similar?
Beliefs
understandings
how far
apart?
How likely
cooperation?
Anything to
build on?
Best to
avoid?
No common
voice,
knowledge,
history.
Not yet
time for
such things.
