The Galaxy

Harry C. Craft III 1959 (Phoenix, Arizona)

February 24 
Free verse
When our galactic system
sighs to a frozen halt in space
do you think there will be some remnant
of beauty, of the human race?

Do you think there will be some vestige,
or a sniffle, or a tear?
do you think a greater thinking being
will give a damn, that man was here?
