Forget cosmological
constant excuses:

our whole universe is abandoning us
at record rates & who
can blame it?

Supernovae don't lie
when the rage of their dying
redshifts into high gear

with us sitting fat dumb
& not even happy

out here gawking up
through our backwater galaxy
night after night as the lights
