Celestial Time Chase

Left the familiar orbit and went around the bend,
to the flat side of Earth, sitting on the edge grinning
devilishly with an aurora in hand.

Watched time as it sat in one of Venus's arachnoids.
Leaping forward and hiding behind Kelvin's wave.
Orion stretched his arm and pulled the belt,
trapping time in the dusty net of the Milky Way.

Jumped on the tail of a comet,
hitching a ride on the nebula train.
Screaming past Bailey's beads and baryon's.

Deimos showed on times face and time complained.
"Why have you traveled to the galaxy's end?"
Reply came out sending time towards a caldera.
"Came here to bring event horizon to your reign."

"Came here to kill you, to choke you with interstellar dust.
As Gibbons and Hyperion serve as witnesses and look on.
Your decaying orbit has come to an end. You don't exist."

Left the familiar orbit and went around the bend,
With a devilish grin and aurora in hand.
Went around the blue moon, black dwarf, and pulsar.
Drowned time in Sea of Tranquility and erased his scars.
