Here’s what Andrew and I have completed so far on our poems. It’s still a work in progress.<\/p>\n

Andrew:<\/p>\n

The Radiation<\/p>\n

Amplifies your photons<\/p>\n

You stimulate me<\/p>\n

X<\/p>\n

Optics adapted<\/p>\n

A new outlook on my world<\/p>\n

Shooting for the stars<\/p>\n

X<\/p>\n

Now I am stronger<\/p>\n

I can do more for myself<\/p>\n

And more for others<\/p>\n

X<\/p>\n

My friends, astronomers<\/p>\n

The Keck Observatory<\/p>\n

Mamalahoa<\/p>\n

X<\/p>\n

Once, things were unclear,<\/p>\n

I love you so very much,<\/p>\n

Bright sexy laser.<\/p>\n

X<\/p>\n

Mine:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m lost and adrift, searching through a vast black sea,<\/p>\n

Without a star to show me the way;<\/p>\n

I can only hope my helmsman\u2019s aim and judgment is true,<\/p>\n

I go whichever direction he points;<\/p>\n

It\u2019s as if his map is made to divulge only directions,<\/p>\n

It tells which way but not how far;<\/p>\n

If only there was a means to remedy this predicament,<\/p>\n

A veritable Sherpa of the stars;<\/p>\n

Of all the places in the universe the sky is the ficklest,<\/p>\n

It distorts what seems to be clear,<\/p>\n

It creates a turbid cloud before the stars, a mirage,<\/p>\n

Making penetration a fool\u2019s task.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
