macrocosmically speaking
astronomy is really freaking
particles keep turning up
articles op-ed hic-coughs
futuristic commentrary
encoded copy dissentary
sounds of heat still hissing there
far beyond the midnight air
but not one clear phrase could be heard
by those who understood a word
pleasant company expected
some attempt to stay connected
but Hubble can be trouble if you're living in a bubble
and rarely see beyond your space, the planetary stubble
and when the shift was over and their logbooks were signed off
no turnover was generated on op-ed hic-coughs
in fact, there was no mention of the words they never heard
and the particles undocumented never got transferred
because the filters of assessment were all clogged with data bits
and the taxes and economy just made them lose their wits
and Dr. Dyer Rhea had a problem with the squirts
it's no wonder Intern Al Eiser got her feelings really hurt
There's no excuse for clumsiness when dealing with this stuff
And when this starts to happen it creates op-ed hic-coughs
So go with it, ride upon it, any way it flows
But bail whenever it appears you're stuck behind your nose.
