The Old Observatory
After a couple of minutes had passed
The building briefly shook from a rocket’s blast,
Breaking me free of my paralysis—
I ran without further analysis
Up to the chamber with the telescope,
But there it was so dark I had to grope
Blindly—then my eyes became adjusted:
What I saw at first made me disgusted.
