the earth-ling inference

the earth-ling is a poem by brian patten.  brian patten made this poem with a very deep connection but other people probably have a different connection or inference to this poem than brian does.  i think this poem is about how an immortal human got dumped on earth from a different planet, the planet called alzorus.  the earth-ling or human created things.  he started off as a cave-man then grew into pioneer life and then modern life. then the earth-ling tells how it will be like in the future and how he hates earth in the future because mistakes were made.  maybe those mistakes were inventing things that didn't have a positive impact on our world.  when the earth-ling says " but this is the basic story, the terrible story" i think he is saying that there is a positive story but only if we re-write the negative story for the future and not make any more mistakes that were made.
