On the Discovery

of 1054 New Planets in the Milky Way Galaxy by the Satellite Kepler, February 6th 2011

 

Like a young Alvie Singer
Speaking to his therapist,

I too am worried
About the universe,

How it is expanding,
And that I am caught here

Waiting in the bedroom
To brush my teeth

Because you are taking
Too long in the shower again.
