In the Middle of Things

There was a time when conventional wisdom
Placed earth in the middle of things.
That idea's been replaced on galactic scales,
The better for wandering.

There was a time when ancient thought
Stood in for cosmic belief.
Then the manager sent in science
To throw innings in relief.

They say the world was full of poetry,
'Til science brought in doubt,
But I say there's plenty of poetry
In figuring things out.
