Vol. 1 - Issue 1 [Gabriel Gadfly]
Ad Astra Per Aspera
Here is a thing to remember:
every one of the hundred billion stars
staring down at you
has stared down
since you were a double-helix
dreaming in your earliest ancestor.
You contain, scrawled on every
cellular wall, a memory of
a stellar ocean filling up
the first human eyes,
an unfiltered map of everything
you were meant to explore.
All of mankind’s breakthroughs
inhabit you: sparks and levers,
atoms sundered and rebirthed,
the secret languages of geometry
and electromagnetism –
all these rungs in a twisting ladder
you already know how to climb.
So.
In 50,000 years of being human
how is it possible
you’ve never set sail
from your lonely blue island?
