stand with me now among the stars,

like orion himself,

a galaxy or few on either side

a nebula tickling your ankles

surrounded with glory,

infinite points of light

drink it in drink it in

and tell me what you see

is it Chaos or is it Order?

i tell you, friend, it's both!

for they two are passionate lovers

who cannot get enough

of tangling themselves up together

we are their love-children
