Moths Seeking the Event Horizon

Light doesn’t seek escape from a black hole
No, contrary to common expectation
It revels in the giant’s gravitas
And carousels around it, with each pass
So hoping to accelerate, alas
In vain it seeks that quantum incantation
No shifting Doppler gears, no stellar gas
No Schrödinger surprise or tiny mass
No tacky tachyon who likes to go first class
It cannot get enough acceleration
And finally gives up its very soul
