Quenched molten rock
Recoil from collision shock
Strange skies look on
To harsh to breathe
Under nebulas that seethe
Vast void vortex
Warping space-time
X-ray sources shine sublime
Yes, despite all of our scars
Zen we are, the stuff of stars

Beijing listened not quite so well,
Quietly dismayed by this g
