Thinking about birds
and wires
flight trajectories
missiles
satellites
geostationary versus low shallow 5G orbits
thousands of gestapo spacecraft marching across the night sky
Mars and Pluto conjunct in Leo in the tenth house
communication versus Convenient Surveillance
puffy clouds of lost language
thoracic videogame bone pain
thumbs numb
tongues dumb.
Who will Pay for all this Access?
Who will miss Betelgeuse—Orion’s flaming shoulder
going supernova,
the cool swirl of aurora,
Venus’ adoring gaze
if they don’t
go out
look up?
