Watch out, Sir,
for you are inquiring after a star not your own.
It cannot show you a new commodity
to enhance your portfolio,
nor bless the call giving the order
that would create value from victims.
It was once thought stars were like coal-burning furnaces
until they figured there could not be enough mines
to stoke such radiance:
their reach is off the grid.
