Life In The Universe

Convinced that we are not alone
in the vastness of the universe,
astronomers dream of extra-
terrestrial life. An intelligence
not unlike our own.

Great dish telescopes revolve
to the music of the spheres,
picking up radio waves that
scientists work to decode,
finding . . . nothing as yet.

Just think: somewhere in that
great infinity soulmates may exist!
Themselves training devices our
way. Picking up signals
and frantically unscrambling
the meaningless tangle.

Myself, I constantly turn my
radio dial looking for signs of
intelligent life right down here.
Those beings could be coming up
with the very same results.

Nothing.
Nothing out there.
Nothing down here.
There is no intelligent life.
