While space intrigues me,
I do not think I can go to it now.
Titan has wanted to wrap me in its icy embrace,
Venus has wanted to burn me alive,
And yet I am here on Earth.

While my fellow man will pollute the oceans,
Make the air hard to breathe, and
Make living a destiny and not a checkpoint,
A quest.

But I cannot escape Earth because
She is in love with man the way I knew she wants
To be.
We're toxic to her, of course,
But she will not stop caring.

While space intrigues me,
I do not think I can escape to it now.
For now, I stay grounded.
​​​​​​​Until Saturn takes me again.
