Small World

It’s a small world,

a tiny itsy bitsy planet

somewhere in a universe

where intelligent beings

think every thought there is to think

like a supercomputer gone mad,

not that anything much happens.

Oh yes, the homosaplings manage

to get themselves in lots of trouble,

but the universe couldn’t care less.

OK, maybe they’re sending emissaries 

in strange crafts to boggle our minds…

maybe we are their reality show, for a 

good laugh.

Somebody should tell them it’s not funny.
