To All Sensitive Innocent Aliens

author’s note:

I think we’re all scientists.


TO ALL SENSITIVE INNOCENT ALIENS

I once heard a scientist on TV say:

whatever we broadcast
drifts in waves from this planet
then travels through the Universe.

Since receiving that information
I’ve worked hard
to raise my best from the depths

even though my resolve
causes so much stressful strain.

Through experimentation, I’ve learned:
no way to avoid that pain
without repressing my higher impulse

and I wouldn’t want
to create waves that might wound
sensitive innocent aliens.
