Postmodern Astronomy 


I’ve got no ruckus with Polaris

North is north, true is true


At least within a degree or so

It’s her phony shooting stars, the Ursids,


Piss me off

None of them real stars, these bitches,


Just trashy sand and dust combustibles  

Lying little flashers 


Not stars, not reindeer

Not shooters, not Billy the Kid


Little Ursa doesn’t even own a gun

Don’t waste your Christmas wishes like I did
