Some good moments throughout, and 'How to search for aliens'is my favorite of the group. The comparison POV's between her and her mom and between the claustrophobic vigil and the vastness of space worked well for me. She projects more than I prefer with lines like, '. . .Four point five billion years / since genesis and the sky still hovers / like a veil between us and space, / wanting to be lifted before the unintelligible . . .' But, that's a matter of preference. And, with the 4.5 B years, she brings in another fun comparison - the shortness of human relative to the big-picture timeline - without being explicit or trite. Thanks for sharing!
