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?
