Comets are rocks
or minerals
and chemicals
and they carry fire
on their skins.
They move like the thoughts
in an engineer’s head.
We could examine them further.
We could know more.
We could keep our perspective
on material
and substance
and studies.
The other things
a comet carries
are smiles
and enthusiasm
and cheers
from those that spot them.
But what more is that
they carry a path
that has no end to our perspective.
And no end means
we can find hope
in what we do not know.
