2,500 words later, I have a *lot* of confidence that this story marks a shift in style to better convey my thematic priorities. I've been trying for years to express how human self-absorption undermines our awe in the face of new discoveries.

@stephen_a_allen Thank you, Stephen! 🤗 I imagine you've gone through quite a few such moments in your own journey with poetry. (And may yet undergo more in the years ahead! Who knows?)
@MLClark Style shifts are always interesting things, and I hope yours is fruitful. And even if it doesn't get it exactly right, I hope it's a step forward.
