The Great Lizard Nebula

Vast red scarf of hydrogen,
Too faint for binoculars,
Too sprawled-out for telescopes,

And therefore not as well known
As some lesser nebulas
For the usual reason—

Inconvenient for common
Observation. The cosmos
Humans know best will always

Be best fitted to humans,
To the most, most easily,
Will always be human-shaped.
