The Giant Eyeball
Single cell organisms
scatter the gigantic globe
(Ten times the size of Earth, perhaps the size of Jupiter).
We, mere humans don’t exist there.
We couldn’t, gravity is too strong.
Only amoeba like creatures could live there, alien planktonkind.
We would be too heavy, even children.
They exist many many light years away from us,
next to a Red Giant star,
just a sparkle in our night sky.
We share a common history inside the Milky Way galaxy, neighbors really.
They have vast oceans and land masses, just like Earth.
And as a single person contains trillions of cells,
organized to make us who we are.
Their planet may be organized too.
At least, I think so,
as I peer through one of our most powerful of telescopes,
I see what looks to me a giant eye
looking back at me!
