Even Terra’s Tentative

This ball of our existence
makes a yearly orbit round
the source of our existence

The hope of our persistence
hangs upon a thread of gravity.
Of that umbilical, the science is insistent

But, though that fact’s of great importance,
both sides of this relationship,
(in this universe at least) are temporary motes

—check out the science, it’s consistent
