Text of the Poem
Always
We'll go even further never advancing
From planet to planet
Nebula to nebula
Never leaving the ground 5
The Don Juan of 1003 comets
Seeks new forces
Takes spooks seriously
So many universes forgotten
Yet where are the truly great forgetters 10
And whoever will teach us to forget this or that corner of the world
And where is the Christopher Columbus to forget entire continents
To lose
Really to lose
To make room for the windfall 15
To lose
Life to Victory
