Comet
a comet streaks through the finale
of a star-crossed sunset
its tail bright as sunlight,
but quickly disappearing,
a sort of dissatisfaction
following in its wake,
as if you thought it would be visible
all through the coming night;
but not so, it has shown itself and gone,
speeding through space as some men
only wish that they could do,
vast wealth spent on space flight,
yet no one’s living on the moon
nor has anyone reached Mars
-and why would they want to?-
so the comet’s indifference to
what you and I may wish for
is certainly to be expected,
however much it drives home
how small and insignificant
our lovely blue planet is…
