There
There they sit
The objects on the beach
Washed by the tide
Waves of chemical solution
No Earth like water
For this is an alien world
Full of familiar things
Yet as different as moon and sun
Seen in real time
By a space probe
Itself alien here
Sent from Earth
Across the gulf of space
To observe and take readings
Humankind the aliens
Sending a craft
To explore and detail
What comes next?
Manned craft and colonization
Then onwards into space…
from New Dawn 2971
