Even the Astronauts
…are calling NASA’s shuttle program
“a magnificent failure.”
So maybe what we’ve learned from this
is how to die
too gracefully.
How to stare at the sky
and see Sputnik, see ourselves,
see ourselves on fire like stars
and understand:
despite the way
we glow,
at this kind of distance,
there’s a decent probability we have already
burned out.
