Niner Liner: Trip As We Go On The Light's Fantastic Tow

[John Milton, L'Allegro, 33-34]


Our eager gaze soared like a blue streak

if not to the farthest edge of the

red shift, than at least far enough to


satisfy our curiosity.

Releasing light and warmth from fusion.

without no regard to or respect for


our observational efforts,

the stars continued to fuse atoms

as if we were not even arrived.


Starward
