I cross the path over the dry river bed The trees are no longer green In fact the trees do not resemble trees No longer stretching outwards They are dormant after the AI moved on to other things No need to hang about after the seed is sown
By now the sun will have risen in the north Set in the south and all within four hours Twilight passes for night and day Clouds no longer cruise the horizon Seasons last for years This haven replaced Earth But I know where I'd rather be
The power of the mind is unknown Producing truth, fear, hope, etc, etc, +++ So many thoughts Too confusing for anyone Too difficult to fully control But with practice Silence can be found Allowing peace in all ventures
Let us begin Once upon a time on the third rock from the sun Confusion was afoot Identity unsure Purpose unclear All in all quite mixed up As an outsider I observed with sympathetic curiosity Conclusion Perhaps better left alone until they manage to understand themselves No rush Maybe another thousand years
