Future

As barren as the moon, Perhaps not later, But soon! Filtered air, Seawater collected, Eaten with chop sticks, If you please, Whatever we can eat with ease! Too hot to live on the surface, Burrow under the ground. Deep enough for cooling temps, Not enough to raise the rents! Everyone moves to shaded ground, Rocks hold heat, So, underground! The moon is looking better all the time, Not so crowded, To move around.

Thanks for your comments. Looking at seawater as an alternative to what we eat now will probably not replace a cow. But given nothing else to eat, seawater might be rather sweet!

I've never tried eating seawater with chop sticks. Come to think of it, I've never had seawater with a spoon either. Interesting poem Kim

Thanks for your comment. Seawater has lots of small nutrients. With our current issues with for in the world, might be a potential alternative.
