My Neighbors

 

1.   I believe there are other human intelligences;

            Thousands of them, millions of light years away.

I believe there are other forms of intelligence;

            Billions of them, close, when I hear my heart beat at night;

In the clear wide sky,

            I can see their bright stars;

In the quietude of the night,

            I can feel them fly;

In the early dawn,

            I can hear them chirp, bark, or cry.

 

2.   There are others,

            Near human intelligence, too.

They have not two eyes,

            Blue, black, nor brown.

They have not two ears,

            Feet nor hands.

Some of these physically deficient creatures are

            millions light years far.

 

3.   We search.  We still cannot see those varieties of intelligence.

            We need high tech search machines.

We keep searching,

            Waiting for them to make us see.

Very few are searching,

             Now and then searching.

They are telling me they have found some intelligence.

             They do tell me they might have compassion.

Today, they found most of these sorts of intelligence.

             Yesterday, they have talked to my next door neighbors.
