I, Universe, regret much—
the demise of the dodo,
the demotion of Pluto,
your inability to grasp
wave-particle duality.

I, Universe, admit
mosquitos were a mistake,
black holes lack circumspection,
that the incompleteness theorem
is rather discouraging.

I, Universe, acknowledge
your complaints and lamentations,
and offer in my defense
the mitigating fact
that I gave you cat.
