when i heard today
that NASA had discovered
a new solar system with seven
earth-like planets, i sighed
thank god as if i were
closer to getting off
this one. other lures:
the system’s star
is an ultracool
dwarf named TRAPPIST-1,
no abrahamic relations, and
cosmically speaking,
40 light years away
is only right next door
