Space Exploration To Solve Earthly Crises - The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die[00:00:00]
It's cold in the yard[00:00:05]
I don't know where to start[00:00:11]
Everything is already tattooed somewhere[00:00:19]
There's some halt in the way that things seem to work here[00:00:29]
The sun's radiance reaches us in eight minutes[00:00:31]
But given its age given the ever expanding nature of the universe[00:00:33]
Somewhere 4 5 billion light years away its solar winds are breathing fire[00:00:36]
For the first time its flares dancing through the dark[00:00:42]
To awaken the worlds at their birth[00:00:47]
Is our being this buoyant is some celestial observer watching us[00:00:51]
Through a series of glass lenses[00:00:57]
And mirrors jotting down notes of years ago maybe[00:00:59]
Of his flight across the country from the the place[00:01:04]
He called home to the place I've always called home[00:01:07]
If so on what star on what rock does his life still shine[00:01:12]
I've been tinkering with lead pipes and gunpowder aluminum frames fein[00:01:25]
Saws and soldering irons steel[00:01:32]
A fishbowl from the attic my astronaut's helmet winter gloves snow boots[00:01:34]
And overalls over a wetsuit to stave off the cold a notebook of his thoughts[00:01:39]
To stave off the loneliness infinity isn't anything until you are among[00:01:45]
The stars searching for something I have lost have lost[00:01:52]
Let us hope that the duct tape holds and my misguided science[00:01:58]
And memories of his crooked coffee stained smile can lead me to a place[00:02:04]
Where his light still illuminates the days[00:02:10]
