The Lesson
Looking out of a sky-blue window,
A parting among the clouds,
Using a thunderbolt like a needle
Pointing out places on a map,-which is real
All the power of the galaxy
In a jar marked 'Universe'
That tadpoles used to swim in.
The way to make ant-people cower
By just blowing on the sea a bit,
Drowning the surrounding land...
A typical Environment lesson ;
Even as far away as Jupiter
They study us, studying them.
We are looking out at them
They are looking in at us
If we are not both careful
A war instead of peace.
