Predictors of the future, those sage souls steeped
in astrobiology tell us of a brave new world they
envision when humankind must abandon the ship
that has borne us through the ages in the firmament
of the heavens, that in an ever-expanding universe
and the potential of interstellar travel rests the future
potential for colonization of a planet humanity has
not yet spoiled whereas mother Earth has been
thoroughly disabled groaning under the weight of
her degraded status, calling up tempestuously
destructive unnatural calamities in a failed effort
to regain her balance on the stormy seas of a climate
reversing the natural order as we know it. We imagine
ourselves in the future space-suited, existent in aplomb
within an adjusted lifestyle under a oxygenated
self-sustaining dome on a planet far from our ancient
emergence. Suddenly, in one fell swoop we have
been given an entirely new world right here on our
ailing planet, nature returning the compliment of
forging another entirely new way of life to sustain
an existence of toxin avoidance while among us there
is no lack of those resembling extraterrestrial life
suited in prevention of contracting deadly viruses so
emblematic a struggle to cope in an existential coup.
