Ungodly High
I'm not a poet, but somebody had to do it
Behold: ISS
Zooming over heads each hour
Until it comes down
~~~
From the ISS, ungodly high
Chaos madness, evolves below nigh
– King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
Author's Note
Glib though this haiku may sound, it is based on fact: the ISS will be retired in 2030. And like all the great space stations that have come before it (Skylab, Mir), it will meet a blazing end as it is deorbited. Whatever doesn't burn up on reentry to the Earth's atmosphere will crash into the ocean.
If it doesn't mysteriously crash into Kyiv first, that is 👀👀
