Jill texted my wife
And told us to go outside
And there we saw Venus and Mars
Riding astride the crescent moon
And Jill said to me --
It looks like another
Moon tonight as if
Ours should be rising
In the East
In the East
And I wondered for
A moment if perhaps
She might not be right
Because this resembled
No planetary alignment I'd ever
Seen before
Only a blurry image could
Be captured even with
A 35 millimeter camera
So this is
Where we're heading
Distracted by
The bits and bytes
Circling the globe
We’ve lost our grip
On the most basic
Things our forbearers
Were sure to have known
Like what
Like what
A tripartite sighting
Such as this actually foretold
Instead in our modern ignorance
We must now wait for the greater
Mysteries still to unfold
