There are uncounted ways
things could have gone
wrong for us
here.
Too red a sun
or too blue,
too weak a magnetic field,
too little ozone.
This could be a
more violent
neighborhood,
niceties aside,
or Jupiter could have been
a party-crasher,
sending Mercury rising.
This is, admittedly,
little consolation
for the passenger pigeon.
