Epsilon Crux Poem by Douglas Scotney

The Fifth Star in The Watch Dog,
Las Guardas, Closest To The Plughole,
Crux, The Southern Cross
is Epsilon, ECrux, Least Hot.

Is Intrometida, The Intrusive One;
is Nosy, The Spoiler, The Battler;
is Crux's Beauty Spot.

Is Last Seen In The Afternoon, LSITA;
is First Gone In The Morning;
is Dimwit;
is Paler Than Palida
(More Pale Than Pale One Delta) .

Is The One Some Curse At, is TOSCA;
is TOSP, The One Some Pity;
is The One Who Sleeps On The Street.

Is the one you can't see first
for the dirts
in the air above the city.
