Tourists

I observe your planet Earth all the time. Like right now. I see that man on a busy street corner, under the moonlight. He has a lot of muscles. You can say that he probably goes to the gym. But you can tell he does not care about health, as he takes a long drag of his cigarette. He only cares about looks. He crosses the street and walks into the convenient store. Inside he passes the man purchasing a bottle of whiskey. Now that man is someone you may call an asshole. He is trying to bully the cash register attendant into giving him the bottle for less because he buys so many. He is taking all of his life's frustrations out on her. She is the old lady who has worked as a cash register attendant here for years. And she is a real gem. She patiently explains to the man in her quiet voice why she cannot grant his request. She calls him sweetie and she means it. Her energy is unwavering. She is a genuine human being. I watch Earth and its people all the time. I know your species inside and out. But I have never experienced this physical realm before. I will tonight. In the dark night, the stars glisten. If you got close to one of the stars, you would see it is actually your sun. Just from a different day. One star is the sun from yesterday. One from last week. One from a month ago and all the days since. That star over there is your sun from last year. That one next to it is from a hundred years ago, but it is just an itty-bitty spark from where you are looking. It is funny that you humans look to the night's suns for astrology to describe who you are and what will happen in your future. You even wish upon them for things to come true in your lives. Yet you do not know you are looking at your actual futures. And you do not know you are looking at reflections of the life you have already lived. If you got close to the brightest star in your night, you would see the Earth you knew yesterday, circling it. The sun of tomorrow is the brightest too, but it flickers. It sparkles this way because sometimes the free will of people cannot be predicted. The future is constantly changing. Future suns are the ones that twinkle the most because that galaxy is constantly changing. Anything can happen, even if some things are more likely.
