Not Alone

faster than the speed of light
electric currents reversed might
be power enough to propel
interstellar spaceships well

into what is in between
solar systems in a stream
of backwards electricity
everywhere and always free...

faster than the speed of light
accelerating, it just might
be the measure of the Earth
by going faster to give birth

to interspecies first contact
attaining everything we lacked
when, slower than the speed of light,
we passed each day and too each night...

faster than the speed of light
when we're ready we'll take flight
beyond the edge and in between
powered by and in a stream

of EM currents in reverse
arriving somewhere unrehearsed
discovering we're not alone,
the universe is our one home...
