Things Smelled Different When We Were Young

We orbit on polar opposites, our gravities in unison oscillate Earth to oblivion. Emptiness releases us and from the stars we can see remnants of the world we destroyed, little pieces of planet drift in all directions on exploratory missions of vacant space.

Now we glue Earth back together, only it’s not so much Earth anymore as much as it is Glue Earth. We struggle to simulate ecosystems; so caught up in replication that unnoticed Oceans of Elmer’s slosh and spill onto solidified continental plates, opaque and elastic. When the seas calm and the mountains settle we leave Glue Earth to rotate and collect momentum: a sibylline facsimile of life as we knew it.
