Someone used to know the names
Of all the stars that shine
In the winter sky,
The ones that turn
A bit off center as Pegasus flies by
On his way to Orion
To report what has been done.
But Orion doesn't care anymore 
About the deeds of man,
And Pegasus doesn't tell anyone 
Anything anymore either.
And while the universe expands,
Some modern theologians 
Wonder what the gods do care about,
While banjo players and little children ask,
Whatever is the universe expanding into?
