In choosing nine members to consult,
the Sun considered the political
disposition
of the principal planets,
and took account of the fractious
and frequently suicidal asteroid
belt.
Each of the nine members of the panel
was unique in its/his/her
requirements
for life support – but by evolution
each had arrived
at similar stellar intelligence.
The panel was convened
to consider the fate of Earth.
Basically, the Sun was over
the dissolute behaviour
of the myriad human ants
and their unreflective scurrying,
impervious to advertising
urging them to spend more time
sitting thinking in the sun
sans iPhone.
A consensus settled on the
use
of two dedicated asteroids
suicide bombers that would blast
obscuring clouds of dust,
freezing the planet on impact,
cleansing the Earth of humans.
New life forms might emerge
and perhaps
not make
such a mess.
“Worth a try,” the sun said,
calling for volunteers.
