Who's There?

Dawn knows not of my weary wake night has never caressed my body's slumber Do the ruddy Martian winds break for lunch can you buy crushed ice on Europa Is an atomic reaction a human tragedy or just another mysterious spot on the Sun hmm, have another drink of water Who's needlessly dying beneath the suffocating clouds of Venus would they commit suicide, in a Vesuvius ash, '64 Impala Next time you see Mercury, steer clear of tomorrow the table is set, a Red Giant is coming to dinner If green is the pigment of envy, why is the Earth so very blue isn't chlorophyll the Color of Money Shh...don't tell photogenic White Dwarfs their acting days too, are atomically numbered Is irony consciously painting, an infinite abyss or a finite existence, unconsciously as radiant as Saturn's rings Relevance isn't ignorance, if you never check the clock time is inevitability, inevitability the universal knock
