<p>Great people lost their way on Earth;<br />
I don’t think space is much better,<br />
the ineffable, the vast distances<br />
reaching out and tantalizing our hearts and minds,<br />
but the space is crippling, as a matter of fact,<br />
it’s cold as hell, so says a rocket man<br />
still burning his fuel away alone in the sky<br />
with the memory of a blue world long gone.</p>
<p>Hyperreality, or just reality on a larger scale,<br />
the mind is not ready to take in;<br />
a macrocosm coalesced in one moment, and a microcosm<br />
expanded into infinity, the moment we could see,<br />
the moment we looked into the sky and said<br />
“Oh, what’s that?”</p>
