A Universe with More Planets Than Stars

Was questionable speculation from
Arithmetical extrapolations
Up until a decade or so ago.

Now, it’s a dead cert. They’re out there. They’re there,
Orbiting planets, all spins and sizes.
Not that this satisfies you. No, no, no.

Life, life, life. That’s all that you want to know.
For now, questionable speculation
From one planet’s worth of observations.
