Two spaceships diverged in a dark void,
And Superpowers made many lines
And cosmic boundaries to avoid
And stared down across the asteroid
To where it bent their curious minds,
Then took their sides, as sure as strife,
One having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was lasting and boasted life;
Though as how long it would suffice,
Both sides treated that about the same.
And both sides waiting equally lay
In fears the other would attack.
Oh, they kept the worst for another day!
Yet knowing how fray leads on to fray,
They doubted if they would make it back.
We shall be spreading across the sky
Somewhere eons and eons hence:
Spaceships diverged in a void, and why-
how they said no when tensions were high,
