NASA researchers have discovered a perplexing case of a black hole that appears to be “tipped over,” rotating in an unexpected direction relative to the galaxy surrounding it.

Black Hole Wisdom
(Galaxy NGC 5084)

I wonder if
Out there
Somewhere there is
An exception to everything
We know
And all the things we don’t know
Too

Would make a universe
I guess
And maybe prove infinity
If not eternity

Apollo 11 at Fifty-Five

What shall we say
Of the lunar landing
Aldrin
Armstrong
Collins
The many who built the ship
Built the rocket
The many who were on the crew
That day
Whose words and switches
Made things happen

I was there
With the nation
With the world
With the Soviets
Disappointed maybe
Angry
Though I think impressed
All the same
And also many were
Admiring
I believe

Other democracies
Might have been
Envious
Too
That the USA pulled off
What fictively had happened
Already in
Novels
And in the movies
(sometimes
first as novels)
Too

I’d like to think
That all the human spirit
Was attending
That was alive
That day
Astounded
And admiring
One small for a person

One giant leap
For humankind
For all of us then
And now

(and
does this verse
look like a launching

maybe
the beginning
of a landing)

Planet Nine from Outer Space

(the sequel)

It’s out there

Will we see it

Will we be looking back

Before it hits us from behind

I have a name for it

Minerva

Because more wisdom should not hurt

Unless a planet can wage judgment

On another

It’s relative, I guess

If not ironic

When

We look for something new

In outer space

While on the inside

Do we hear the cry for

Something more

On Earth

A cousin to our planet

A source of helps and agencies

If willing

Maybe not,

To make us glad we’re not the only ones

Who can say

We’re here
