I was born aboard an organic rotating spaceship
traveling one point five hundred and ninety eight million miles a day
as I took my first breath of oxygen O2
a 386 billion billion megawatt nuclear fusion reactor came into view
showering me with filtered electromagnetic radiation
making light for every earthly creation
on this one of eight spaceships
orbiting the nuclear fusion reactor
in our solar system
as one
we move through the cosmic unknown
at 32 million miles a day
we live
made from the matter
supernova star dust
what we do now
is up to us
