The problem arose
with the first Mars colonies
who fixed the festival
to Jerusalem time
and saw it precess
through the seasons
like Ramadan and Eid,
Things became pressing
during the Second Exodus.
Rabbi Izenberg argued
that time dilation
and speed uncertainties
required shipboard
commemoration untethered
from Earthbound calendars,
Rabbi Rhoden advocated
a new calendar for each system.
So began the Kochavim tradition
of eating simple foods
similar to ship’s rations
during the holiday.
Rabbi Wolven added
a sixth cup of wine
to the seder
for reasons
that are lost
to time.
