martian hangover
we were supposed to have landed
in the utopian basin
instead found ourselves in hellas planitia
yeah it was a bit warmer there
but the space bar was out of this world
that is until they closed it down for good
we were told about a mass migration
heading north to arabia terra
just outside the cassini crater
of course the winds were headed
in the wrong direction
which is exactly why we remained
in what would become a hellhole
for nearly a fortnight
december two thousand twenty-three
