One Theory   So what was the plasma of life — the seed? One theory holds that long ago on Mars some chemicals (fortunately indeed)   found each other deep in the rock, gave birth to replication — which is to say, need. Some bits were blasted all the way to Earth   by meteors that were themselves just star dust — well, that’s one theory, for what it’s worth. So who are the little green men? We are.     © Michael Fleming Dummerston, Vermont December 2022
