Earth-like planets...
...where the hanging moment of morning
finds cloud unbound and the song moves on.
Where she sang that song, the one that rhymes
"heart" with "card" and where...
Here's another one! Jake looks up from the machine.
it's like the universe is stuffed with the damn things--
and another, this one's pinkish... which means
if the Universe is filled with places of this sort,
then life cannot be killed... will always have
another place to go. He looks around. She's gone again.
He feels he is in love, but that it will not work.
He'd like to buy her a drink later
except she never is about. Never mind,
he calls, in case she is still there. Meanwhile,
at the other end of the telescope, she spreads
her blanket on the ground, just beyond the pale
pink shadow of the untrees, opens the picnic basket
and sits down...
