This great bear, she fills the sky,
Never leaves, bathes in the sea
Fixture of the night,
Northern beast to western eyes
And the seven brightest lights
Wagon, cleaver or plow
Help find Polaris’ bright
Beacon home
Looking at the night sky
Twenty seven points drawn together
Laying back with open eyes
Trying to see Ursa Major
Staring at the night sky
Several galaxies cluster there
Contemplate the bright lights
That compose Ursa Major
That compose Ursa Major
Seven stones, sages or sons
Or one who came alone
Power, sowing, wisdom
Northern light on eastern shores
This constellation
Filament and void
Sparks imagination
Beyond our home
Looking at the night sky
Twenty seven points drawn together
Laying back with open eyes
Trying to see Ursa Major
Staring at the night sky
Several galaxies cluster there
Contemplate the bright lights
That compose Ursa Major
That compose Ursa Major
And it’s the same thing
At a fixed point in the sky
And where we’re looking
Determines what we find
It isn’t changing
It pays us no mind
Devoid of meaning
Yet somehow alive
Looking at the night sky
Twenty seven points drawn together
Laying back with opened eyes
Trying to see Ursa Major
Staring at the night sky
Several galaxies cluster there
Contemplate the bright lights
That compose Ursa Major
That compose Ursa Major

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see where to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.
When this blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.

Come and sit with me
Take my hand and see
You could have everything
We could have everything
All that is known to be
Available for free
You can know anything
We can know anything
Come watch the world go to hell
We have good seats for the show
As it fades
Come watch the world go to hell
Come and see all that we know
As it fades away
Take this cup from me
Abdication or a plea
You won't know anything
Why know anything
Knowledge left to thee
From these constraints set free
Some future everything
Superseding everything
Come watch the world go to hell
We have good seats for the show
As it fades
Come watch the world go to hell
Come and see all that we know
As it fades away
If nothing matters
then nothing matters
Come watch the world go to hell
We have good seats for the show
As it fades
Come watch the world go to hell
Come and see all that we know
As it fades
Come watch the world go to hell
We have good seats for the show
As it fades away

Of Nebulae

A cellular collection,
will fail and fall,
Without reaching perfection,
Consumed by earth and birthed to atmosphere,
Never recall what happened here.
These fleeting perceptions
Covered by the pall
Mountains crumble
And seas run dry
Stand there humbled
Don’t avert the eyes
The wicked, the kind, the just
All return to dust
Every prayer and confession
Bounced against a wall
This eternal obsession
Is it love or is it fear
Distracting from the corporeal
A transgression
Against a call
Mountains crumble
And seas run dry
Stand there humbled
Don’t avert the eyes
The wicked, the kind, the just
All return to dust
Every morning an eden
And twilight calls
Every second fleeting
Observers floating on the wind
Hoping for worlds without end
Each moment an eden
Each moment an eden
Each moment an eden
Each moment an eden
As twilight calls
Mountains crumble
And seas run dry
Stand here humbled
Don’t avert the eyes
The wicked, the kind, the just
All return to dust

A death in low orbit
04:45

Wandering Moscow’s busy streets
Creature who ages in sevens
Content in sating appetites
Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens
Given home in space decreasing
Environs new to this small peasant
eleven pound husky mutnik
Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens
Alone,
Alone,
Floating in low orbit alone,
Just a brief moment
and then you will depart,
Alone, adrift, amongst the stars
Quiet and charming little curly
One of three to heed the lesson
Centrifuge for acceleration
Alone, adrift amongst the heavens
Sacrifice on a one way mission
Conditional mammalian presence
Prepare the way for astronauts
Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens
Alone,
Alone,
Floating in low orbit alone,
Just a brief moment
and then you will depart,
Alone, adrift, amongst the stars
kiss her nose and attached the wires
Hatch closed October fifty seven
Sputnik two launches into orbit
Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens
Telemetry showed agitation
no signs of life by hour seven
Poison, stress or asphyxiation?
Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens
Alone,
Alone,
Floating in low orbit alone,
Just a brief moment
and then you will depart,
Alone, adrift, amongst the stars
Six months later upon reentry
Complete, total disintegration
Nothing left but our fevered dreams
Alone, adrift, amongst the heavens
Alone,
Alone,
Floating in low orbit alone,
Just a brief moment
and then you will depart,
Alone, adrift, amongst the stars
Just a brief moment
and then you will depart,
Alone, adrift, amongst the stars

Gabe Schwartz Ohio
Witness the sight of a middle-aged man trying hard to not seem like he's trying hard and spiraling in shame because of it.
Drink in the self interest masquerading as self effacing in the midst of self serving self deprecation.
Gabe Schwartz is a nominal musician and songwriter. Possibly. He attempts these feats alone as testament to the great difficulty he has in interacting with others.
