Black up there Tonight - good seeing For ‘scopes And hopes; Orion reminds - Betelgeuse is blowing. Teasing, in a way, The competition - Who's to go before The other? - Yet we partner, blushing Knowing - a sort of conscientiousness - For neither bears control; We're warming - The hidden disingenuousness Is playing out our role. Betelgeuse's beauty Bears a legend, Frowning at the portent In our stubbornness.
