The Old Observatory

[from Five Stories Tall, vol. 3 (2000)]

Late some night when you deserve a story,
Ask about the old observatory;
I mean the one that stood upon those hills:
No headset toy for artificial thrills,

But a satellite of City College,
Doling out astronomical knowledge

Daily to students and plain passersby—
Anyone wishing to study the sky.
