“Given the above trends, we feel that the world’s overall fertility rate will fall to replacement rate by 2025. In other words, reproductively speaking, our species will no longer be expanding”
– Sanjeev Sanyal
.
i laid out plans
imagined places –
.
the darkness of deep
space or supernovas
humans might explore
.
before I knew the value
of a self-indulgence –
.
rooted in the distance
between stars
.
traveling without a Fitbit
or the road ahead….
.
we gave up making
love, sometime ago
.
i don’t know why.
