To the Curiosity Rover

We named you after that which is best and brightest within us, that turns stars to constellations, planets into neighbors, and noise into song, but they tell me you can't sing this year. Creating vibrations using your sample-analysis unit costs power, and your nuclear battery can't run forever. For entropy, for the finitude of the universe, and the death of all things, I am sorry. But I wanted to tell you the party's still on, the next planet over, and for making that distance seem just a little shorter, we have you to thank. We haven't forgotten you. We still write poems and make memes in your name. If the aliens find you, and they wonder how or why we sent you on this journey, they need only read your name.

---

I wrote this four years ago, after reading somewhere that the Curiosity Rover once sang Happy Birthday to itself to celebrate the anniversary of its Mars landing, but to conserve battery, it never did it again.

I felt such immense grief for a robot I've never met and for once my tears transmuted perfectly into nice words. I'm still happy with this, even if I'm not really a poet.

Happy Birthday, Curiosity.

college AUs are nice and all but what about grad school AUs where the main characters go through their post-degree existential crisis as young adults thrown hastily into adult life and they don't know what they're actually doing or what they want to do but somehow find some comfort in each other's company as they go through that period of existential frustration and loneliness together
