When we introduce ourselves to the aliens,
I hope we don't hold a press conference,
Or, worse, trot out trailers and a marketing campaign.
(HUMANS!
Coming Soon
To a theater near you!)
These means to power and production,
Where we spend our days and nights
Are available to anyone downwind of satellites.
Instead, I'd show them baseball, 'cause it's patient, 'cause it's whole,
'Cause we haven't yet forgotten all that's uselessbeautiful.
