Why Are there Thoughts
• 03/03/23 at 11:36PM •Why are there thoughts,
still stuck in my head,
as I'm trying to sleep,
on top of my bed.
I am tired now,
having nothing to say.
Please leave me alone,
my mind is in dismay.
Why are there thoughts,
still stuck in my head,
as I'm trying to sleep,
on top of my bed.
I am tired now,
having nothing to say.
Please leave me alone,
my mind is in dismay.
Come sit with me,
here on the floor.
I will tell you stories,
from the days of yore.
Tales of an early
sunrise,
when day is abloom,
with a million sighs,
Sighs of I love you,
fill the morning air.
Words of joy,
none of despair.
Words which capture,
what you have done,
in the early morning,
with heat from the Sun.
Whence came I,
buffoon, which I am?
Are my emotions, playthings,
for this wretch of a man?
Please spare me the trouble,
don't waste my time.
If you don't like me,
I'll sit here and whine.
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
In 185 AD, Chinese astronomers recorded the appearance of a new star in the Nanmen asterism. That part of the sky is identified with Alpha and Beta Centauri on modern star charts. The new star was visible to the naked-eye for months, and is now thought to be the earliest recorded supernova. This deep telescopic view reveals the wispy outlines of emission nebula RCW 86, just visible against the starry background, understood to be the remnant of that stellar explosion. Captured by the wide-field Dark Energy Camera operating at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, the image traces the full extent of a ragged shell of gas ionized by the still expanding shock wave. Space-based images indicate an abundance of the element iron in RCW 86 and the absence of a neutron star or pulsar within the remnant, suggesting that the original supernova was Type Ia. Unlike the core collapse supernova explosion of a massive star, a Type Ia supernova is a thermonuclear detonation on a white dwarf star that accretes material from a companion in a binary star system. Near the plane of our Milky Way galaxy and larger than the full moon on the sky this supernova remnant is too faint to be seen by eye though. RCW 86 is some 8,000 light-years distant and around 100 light-years across.
I love all,
the people I know,
even the ones,
called "Old, so and so.
The gloom,
from smog and haze,
hurts my eyes.
End of days.
If plants could speak,
what would we hear?
I need water and food,
and have other plants near.
Things I love to do.
Things I love to say.
Depending on thoughts of you
and my own disarray.
The days have flown into years,
memories faded from view.
I'll remember you, always,
long after life is through.
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
Spiral galaxy NGC 3169 looks to be unraveling like a ball of cosmic yarn. It lies some 70 million light-years away, south of bright star Regulus toward the faint constellation Sextans. Wound up spiral arms are pulled out into sweeping tidal tails as NGC 3169 (left) and neighboring NGC 3166 interact gravitationally. Eventually the galaxies will merge into one, a common fate even for bright galaxies in the local universe. Drawn out stellar arcs and plumes are clear indications of the ongoing gravitational interactions across the deep and colorful galaxy group photo. The telescopic frame spans about 20 arc minutes or about 400,000 light-years at the group's estimated distance, and includes smaller, bluish NGC 3165 at the right. NGC 3169 is also known to shine across the spectrum from radio to X-rays, harboring an active galactic nucleus that is the site of a supermassive black hole.

When I tripped and fell on the cement,
you could hear my voice, in lament.
Wondering, if anyone had seen me fall,
no one around, no one at all.
