Moor Grass
Population of the Earth: 1?
The English poet Simon Armitage captures this mood very well in one of his poems…
I’m dreaming of that work, Man Seated Reading
at a Table in a Lofty Room, and while I sleep
a virus sweeps the earth, and when I wake I see
the population of the world is
me.
I take the observation suite at Emley Moor Mast
to watch the skyline from the Appalachians to the Alps;
those signs of life, a thousand miles away perhaps,
are nothing more than fireflies nesting in the grass
across the fell.
I manage very well, become a master in the arts of
of food and drink and heat and light,
but then at night, with no one in the world
to cut my throat, I lock and latch
and bar and bolt the windows and the hatch.
So, my question to you all is – what would you do if you were indeed the last person alive? Would you thrive or slowly turn inward and disintegrate? Would you leave a record of your final thoughts for posterity?
Just because you can see anyone doesn’t mean no one is there.
I’d go on a round the world tour and search for any other survivors, to believe I out of all the earth was the only one to survive is foolish in the extreme. I am neither unique nor so special that the gods would single me out for special treatment.
This sort of idea is equivalent to the idea that earth contains the only intelligent life in the universe. Just because we haven’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
