Saturn looked so close last night
unusually to the left
and lower than the moon,
as if sitting on Seamus’s roof,
at 3am it made me think, that
when the end comes and all
chance of animal and human
life is extinguished,
whether by cataclysmic event
or our own infantile foolishness,
three things will remain for
future exploratory
extra-terrestrial pioneers
to consider,
Termites, Marmite and Lego,
the three building blocks for
a new civilization
