I wish for one million voices
come sing with me into the abyss
a message to SpaceX-Elon Musk
“Please, let’s get twittle to Mars.”

‘If your voice could be heard
by one million people,
what would you say?’

It’s a question Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) posed in a recent prompt post. In answering her own question, she wrote

I would ask
each and everyone
to tell their story

Soon after, Mark Tulin responded to the prompt, sharing his worldview from the perspective of compassion and inclusivity —

If I were behind the mic,
talking to a million attentive ears,
I would champion the weak,
awaken the strong, show solidarity,
and overcome.

A Call for Compassion, Mark Tulin, Jan. 10 2022

Mark tagged me into the prompt, so here I am being everything he’s not, and promoting my own agenda!

Twittles!!
