Maybe 2
One billion light years away
is a sun
around which planets
may exist.
Is life established there,
Is it like or unlike us?
It it carbon based,
or something else?
A wormhole, they say,
can warp the space between
us and them
to shorten the impossible distance.
A lot can happen
in one billion years.
The universe creates stars
then destroys its creation.
Will nothing be there
after we travel the distance,
when we are able; if we are able
to travel the distance?
Maybe we should
just stay home;
let them
come to us!
