Ancient Lake Popular Now

Wall Street mothers stay home learn more.
The shadow looking sharp above the floor.
The musical event of the season 3.5 billion
years ago.

Life thought to have arisen on Twitter like
Facebook in the same crater where it lasted
thousands of years.

Life not designed to answer that question.
But the planet is plausible. A professor said
microbes plopped, you could easily get
a lake, the thing just seems Earthlike—
frigid, arid, bombarded.

After it cooled it was wetter.
It was soaking wet.
Not so much water as sulfuric acid.

Two mudstones named John appear to have
swept down from the walls.
Curiosity could have served as food.
There were microbial organisms around.
I think they would have liked that in Tucson.

In caves signs of life line up, cold and arid,
perhaps ice-covered.

What does it mean.

We’re all thinking: solid evidence destroyed
by radiation could work.
