The setting: moonless, pricked apart by stars.
On the grassy napkin in front of the State House
a threesome with tripods and telescopes.
Two guys loping across from the local pub
stop in midstride. Yeah, says the younger,
You better be lookin’ for a new planet
‘cause this one’s fucked.
from And Short the Season, W.W. Norton, 2014
