| "Greetings Earthlings" | |
| Greetings, Earthlings! Lay down your guns Unclench your fists Take a deep breath The protons inside you Are 13.7 billion years old Greetings, earthlings! Turn off your TVs Unplug your computers Get off the friggin' cell phone The galaxy has 100 billion stars Yet you are where you are Greetings, earthlings! Take off your watches Throw away your keys Slip out of your shoes You wont need them when We pass through the wormhole Greetings, earthlings! Loosen your cummerbunds Burn your brassieres Abandon your hairpieces Vanity is in short supply On the event horizon Greetings, earthlings! Undo your arrangements Let go of your entanglements Except for the quantum ones.... Forget your contingency plans The universe is expanding all around you.... --J.C. McGowan 2002 | |
