If we sent mimes into space
Would we hear them scream?
Imagine them up against the glass,
Watching the rocket take off.
Mouths open with nothing coming out,
But the sound of a balloon leaking air
That’s how we’ll jump start the space program,
Getting our mimes onto someone else’s planet.

With the weird, otherworldly creatures
As an act of diplomacy, they’d mime
A box, to resemble connectivity and peace
The best way to communicate
Is not to say anything at all.
Meanwhile, our universe will
Get a whole lot more frightening.
Our worst fear realized, thousands and
