Rejoice, my friends, the proposal has been submitted

rejoice, my friends, for the
ceaseless histrionics about the proposal
have finally ended, the proposal
having been sent off to
the NASA bureaucracy, chattering along
the razor thin lines of electrons
or optical photons
which cross our great nation.
rejoice, my friends, for I can now
have coffee with you, chatting through
the hours about boys and other
such important things.
