floorboards shaatter

as huge waves roll through the house

groaning
plates slide
deep into Earth

LOOK OUT LOOK IN

the Martian earth is still
volcanoes dead these thousand million years
any Marsquakes our own fault
colonial despoilation
mining of unstable soil
the continental plates froze solid
life-giving gases locked in the rock
Mars grew cold
minute fossils oxidized
gone in what passes for soil here
better move on to Enceladus
a world of tectonic ice

when the earth moves there
shockwaves shake the world
volcanoes visible from space
a panspermatic ejaculation
did you feel it too?

All of our works will eventually be sucked down into the mantle in subduction zones and melted, so what's the use?
