SOLITUDE OF TWO BILLION YEARS LIGHT: Poetry, by Shuntaro Tanikawa

SOLITUDE OF TWO BILLION YEARS LIGHT

solitude.1.1Small globe on humans sleep, get up and work, sometimes want to have companions on Mars. The Martians on their small world, I do not know what to do, maybe a little sleep, get up a little, they work a little? Sometimes they want to have companions on Earth. This is absolutely safe. Universal gravitation, it means force of attraction of mutual loneliness. The cosmos is deformed, so everyone wants to look for. The universe is expanding more and more, so everyone is uncertain. The loneliness of two billion light years, unconsciously I made a sneeze.
