There are yellow flowers in my yard They’re the caterpillars’ stars – best they’ll know I can guarantee a Chinaman has flowers in his own garden and they’re yellow I can’t see them but I am sure they’re there I wonder if he thinks thoughts like this We’re not so different The DNA we share is the flowers’ scent and the bees will find us What’s that? You still think the world is flat? I’m sorry to inform you that it’s not subjective How come? I don’t think that you are dumb But obviously you need some perspective We’ve been searching though we have barely seen But a fraction of a fraction There’s so much distance, light years in between My back yard and the Chinese garden We’re the molecule drifting in a pool If our will has fuel, it could be so cool There are minerals in shooting stars Though they come here from afar, we know them As we travel through galactic seas, Finding cosmic flower seeds, we grow them It’s probable civilization exists And even might be watching If they’re indifferent and fixated We’re in for a rude awakening In the tiger’s eye, there’s a zebra stripe One prays while it hides, one preys on the night
