If a star is billion light years away
And it blew up 999,999,000 years ago
There is no way to know that from Earth
For another 1000 years
At which time 1000 years later
People from Earth will realize
They have been looking at a star
For a thousand years
A star that didn't exist
For 999,999,000 years
Truly
In the vastness of space
With infinity of time
Every point in the universe
Is a point of isolation
Blind as a bat
