out where?
other than here, on this spinning
six sextillion tons to which we are
tenuously tethered
are there big eyed,
big brained air walkers,
silent talkers, beaming
among the billions and billions
of suns and deliriously dense
dark matter?
I think not, though
we
are not alone
if by chance
we were to encounter the
“non us”
I suspect it would be like a dog
trying to bark at a Higgs Boson
or perhaps a Higgs Boson
trying to bark at a dog

not much of a poem, but just what popped into my head when considering the perennial question
