It's so interesting for me to read about this--I grew up in New York City and now I live in Vermont so I had the opposite experience as you share in this piece. But I love the expression in it, you pack so much into just nine lines.
Fabulous. And that first line is such a banger. Not that I think this should to be included in the poem, but I'm desperately curious... Are the aliens incapable of helping us climb over the walls we've built? Do they not want to help us? Or do they think it's something we need to do on our own?
This is a very enticing and succinct story! It reminds me of the way Anthony Doerr writes. Check him out- Maybe you'll be inspired to expand the story :)
Thank you!! Welcome to Vermont. :)

I'm so there for that party!
Rn my favorite song is Greek God or The Cut That Always Bleeds, hbu?
this is a really excellent take to this!! also love the first bits :D
I'd like to think that they're waiting for us to figure it out ourselves and will throw a party for us once we accomplish it. :)
This packs a serious punch. Wow. I'm impressed by how you've managed encrypt a primordial existential howl into such a succinct crisp little piece!
