What

What if the polar caps melted
revealing long comatose beings,
aliens that have remade the world many times?

What if those ancient entities de-frosted,
came to life
while we were all milling about
in our diddly little boats?

What if they declared
that we were also aliens?

What manner of upset,
what a huge wake-up call that would be!

What if we had to invade ourselves
all over again?
