aroundthecosmos poem #2
pluto is demoted
demoted
demoted
pluto is demoted
let’s dance around the ring
we’ll tighten up our kuiper belt
kuiper belt
kuiper belt
we’ll tighten up our kuiper belt
and dance around the ring
our heads are in the oort cloud
oort cloud
oort cloud
our heads are in the oort cloud
let’s dance around the ring
the sun will be a cinder
a cinder
a cinder
a cinder in five billion years so
dance around the ring
yes we still have five billion
five billion
five billion
if we don’t blow it we still have
five billion years to sing
