Literature Text

my self-driving car
hates my mother-in-law and
won't go to New York

astronaut training day ten:
first ride in the Puke-a-whirl
after a big lunch

millions of humans
escaping a dead planet
Ark B hopes and dreams

sleep in Zero G
floating in and out of my
layer of warm air

following their steps
his footprints last forever
walking on the moon

hearts drawn in the fine sand
alone on the dusty moon
we watch the Earthrise

on the red planet
over Schiaparelli's rim
our ship a fleeting star

half-awake again
my cryosleep hangover
demands gravity

orbiting Saturn
your face is beautiful
in the soft ringlight


Vogon poetry

Thy prating wordburgling doth so offend
my dispeptic liver
oh, drooling sorrow and misunderstood pain!
