pioneer 11

in 95 they lost you
as you tripped
over the edge of space

we threw you out there in 73

with a calling card
and directions
second star on the right

and all that
but my advice dear pioneer
is to stay lost
keep searching
with that sketchy male
and his genitalless mate

for a smarter world than ours

because if one day
we catch up with you
we will forget the hope
that fuelled you
and simply drag you home
to sit and decay
in a polished case
with a polished plaque
on a very very very dull world
