Houston, Houston, Do You Read

No balls. Of course we didn't realize that meant
After so many centuries they felt no need
For balls. Instead we thought our heaven-sent,
(Almost literally) balls would breed
A sense of lack in them, and a desire
Or even, at more thoughtful times, a change,
And a return; but they do not require
Any such thing. Why would they rearrange
A whole society because three men
Vomited by the sun, arrived? Should they
Simply because there were some men again
Undo all they had done? Of course they'd say
No thank you. It is natural to them;
It's only us who now have a problem.
