EVERY FIFTH STAR HAS A PLANET LIKE EARTH
Every fifth star has a planet like earth,
One in five suns a habitable world.
I combed through stars — 42,000-worth —
And planets missed by software then unfurled
(Software made to sift through planet signatures).
Not places where the dayside’s molten
But with persistences of water —
Interplanetary Waldens.
