Significant Insignificance - Reversible Poem

There you are, my Earth! I see you here next to our Moon In this wondrous book- zoomed-in, You shine above the rest With cars and people everywhere- Bridges, trains, skyscrapers, jets Blue oceans with majestic ships- Those wonders of our age, Right here upon your sphere exist, You great, important, busy, busy world. There you are, my Earth- and yet- Where are you, Earth? Amid this endless cloud of dust I can barely see you- just a tiny dot In this wondrous book, zoomed out, I find you on this page with straining eye So lost inside our giant Milky Way A drifting grain of sand in time A microscopic, whirling speck, One of the millions, billions, trillions Caught in cosmic winds with all the rest- Where are you, Earth?
