Earth Patrol and the Universe

It gets tough fed up
with everything,
No alternatives.
Keep on doing what you hate
doing as long as it pays you
you keep on doing it
You hate it. You have to.
No alternatives to that.
Opportunity knocked—
the mission to the moon.
I stayed in bed.
It feels so good feeling nothing
but pleasure. You should try it
and decide for yourself
if I was wrong. There is always
opportunity until there isn’t.
Nothing that will pay
the bills. Moon missions swallowed
by the stars, the brightest Sirius
and Vega, Canopus and Capella.
but billions more, dimmer,
some unseeable. Most are somewhere
in the middle, not better, not worse,
a togetherness.
Who are you to think yourself better?
Simply because you have wealth doesn’t
make you burn brighter.
