ESCAPE FROM THE SOLAR SYSTEM
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
-I don't want to walk
on Mercury and Venus,
I would suffocate too quickly.
I don't want to sunbathe
on Mars,
the Sun would be too small.
I don't want to swim or skate
on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune,
the conditions would be too difficult.
So I'm going to look for an exoplanet! -
I said angrily at a press conference.
.
-But why do you want to leave Earth? -
the journalists asked me.
..
-Certainly because people talk
too much about politics
and do too little (believe me!)
for astronomy.
