It's a good thing
that outer space is too big
to be partisan.
Otherwise Republicans
would find a way
to make the Leonid meteor shower
invisible to anyone
who thinks
that perhaps many-times-vetted
Syrian refugees
are not terrorists
and are looking
to escape violence
rather than create it.
(Then again
you can never guess
what mayhem
those five-year-old orphans
will get into next.)
