¡ Ay !

Kua ngaro i te ngaro o te moa / “Lost as the moa is lost.”

—Māori saying

No apologia pro vita sua*

Ever saved a flightless bird

Or a devotee of Moolah.

Fled to the ends of Earth,

His complaints will go unheard,

And the cries of Elon Musk

Will re-echo in this dusk

Where the future's so subfusc

And quickly come our fate to fit.

(It is, you know, as sure as shit!)

What good's a trillion in that dark?

Where safely then yourTesla park?

* "Apology for one's own life"; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologia_Pro_Vita_Sua
