If you knew them all you'd know where you were
And you'd know where you were going Peacock and Pollux
Vega and Sirius
Rigel and Betelgeuse
Spica and Nunci
Deneb and Altair
Markab and Regulus

Named studied taught and forgotten
No wonder this day feels like fog.

Mars has been close and bright and red
An awkward neon sign
Some messiah is born tonight
Dragging himself to the wounds
