2 beta stars beside each other:
the much-brighter Rigel, The Foot of giant Orion The Hunter;
Cursa, The Head of meandering Eridanus The River.
Currently:
the dimmer,
trope-demeaned to The Footstool, The Pouffe;
Rigel,
trope-deemed The Aloof.
My call:
the 2 constellations become one, Episkyros The Game;
Orion, The Player;
Rigel returns to just The Foot;
The Head becomes The Ball.
The Game’s goal –
no, not the Black Hole –
Goal Star
alpha Achernar.
