| needs feeding Immediately | B |
| a crash program begins we fill rockets | C |
| with wheat smoke rings razorblades then | D |
| after long aiming | E |
| they're off Hulls specially alloyed | F |
| so as not to melt before the stuff | G |
| gets delivered we pour cattle rivers windmills | H |
| aborigines etcet into the sun which | I |
| however grows stubbornly | B |

| start shipping ourselves By now | J |
| all the planets moons asteroids and | F |
| so on have been shoveled in though they're | K |
| not doing much good it's | L |

| interpreted as a nova | T |
| by those other galaxies | U |
| those further stars which have always seemed even more | V |
