Breakfast is always fun out here in the field.

Delicious tumbles and twists.

Death separated by a thin foil shield.

All here could die with the flick of a wrist,

Yet our fun time will never yield.

Against the darkness we close our fist.

.

We giggle and laugh and dance and sing

To make the time go by faster.

We stare at the big blue thing,

Never seeing disaster.

Just a peaceful world sleeping

Without following any master.

.

A pale blue dot in a beam of sunlight

Waiting to meet the rest of the universe.

Like a patient child shining bright,

Never aware of their families curse

That lurks slowly toward them in the night.

There will be no need for a hurse.
