This is cute; I like the toss of "Oh captain, my captain" into the mix. The poem as a whole has a good flow/feel to it.

look up! look up! look up! although, there is a microcosm in the ground as well. (but i do not think that that discovery is what your heart longs for here) also, what is 'dps'?

I don't understand how "i to look away again" fits in. I don't know what exactly you've changed, but my only stumbling block at the moment is "i to look away again"
