    goodbye cruel world

    far Apophis
    at apihelion
    turns on its heel
    to set a course
    and steady its keel
    to make for the nickel
    at the core
    and silence men
    forevermore

    this required some Googling on my part, but I didn't read far enough to discover the significance of the nickle at the core. Perhaps you'd explain after others have made their own interpretations?

    As for form, it's succinct and graceful. Thanks.
