Space Oddity
The Dark Side
( a Quatern )
I live life on the dark side of the moon,
You can’t tell if I ever see the sun.
I watch the stars in nurseries as they bloom,
And give them names of planets every one.
I slipped the surly bonds of Earth to find
I live life on the dark side of the moon.
There’s craters to explore as I unwind,
Rare objects while I write my next haiku.
It’s time I had some lunch this afternoon,
I’ve gathered pretty samples for a book.
I live life on the dark side of the moon,
I’ve made a little dugout where I cook.
And so it’s now I stroll among the stars,
The way unmark’d my feet lift in a swoon.
The pull of bodies, Earth & angry Mars,
I live life on the dark side of the moon.
I live life on the dark side of the moon,
You can’t tell if I ever see the sun.
I watch the stars in nurseries as they bloom,
And give them names of planets every one.
I slipped the surly bonds of Earth to find
I live life on the dark side of the moon.
There’s craters to explore as I unwind,
Rare objects while I write my next haiku.
It’s time I had some lunch this afternoon,
I’ve gathered pretty samples for a book.
I live life on the dark side of the moon,
I’ve made a little dugout where I cook.
And so it’s now I stroll among the stars,
The way unmark’d my feet lift in a swoon.
The pull of bodies, Earth & angry Mars,
I live life on the dark side of the moon.

Space
The full moon rises,
It's the pearl of the night
The wolf howls at its presence,
It's light taken from the Sun
To display it's magnificent flouresence.
Zoom! A celestial path,
Carved across the black sky
By a shooting star,
The people gaze up
And make a wish from afar.
The planets scattered across the cosmos
Like the marbles of the galaxy,
They orbit the Sun each at their own pace
Forever spinning and twirling,
Like the Carousel of Deep Space.
Light years from home
Where time is silent and still
Lie the supermassive black holes
Empty, dark voids with no life
Much like some people's souls
The universe expands, its potential unlimited
Despite this it keeps balanced,
Much like a yin to a yang
It holds mysteries we'll never solve
Hard to believe it all came from a Big Bang
It's the pearl of the night
The wolf howls at its presence,
It's light taken from the Sun
To display it's magnificent flouresence.
Zoom! A celestial path,
Carved across the black sky

And make a wish from afar.

Forever spinning and twirling,

Empty, dark voids with no life

Despite this it keeps balanced,

It holds mysteries we'll never solve
Hard to believe it all came from a Big Bang

Sci-Fi Meditation
i’m floating
in that space
between
being and
not
like the battle starship
in the black hole
beset on one side by Romulans
and on the other Darth Vader
like captain James T. Kirk
alone in my quarters
trusting Spock and Wookie
to guide us
safely past the worm tunnels
and through the asteroid belts
knowing that Scottie will fix the warped drive
Luke and Mr. Solo will procure whatever supplies we need
and keep the ladies satisfied
so i drift
peacefully
in that space
between
being and
not

Circuit City
As I drive down copper tracks,
I bathe in a dark neon afterglow
that partially lights the blue hue
of micro farad Marriott’s.
Solder hillocks line the road
connecting the underground.
Coloured bands of static
railway resistors sit in sidings.
High rise relay tenements,
that click, spark and chatter.
Shopping centres on steel stilts,
LED traffic lights stuck on red.
The processing plant pulses
radiated heat over the city.
Rising plumes of disturbed dust
vortex from bladed fans.
Overheated streets melt rivers of flux,
unseen commands hold basic control,
mindless society complete daily tasks,
memories are cherished until cached.

Through the Wormhole
…and out on the other side the ship came out,
Relampago’s controls steadied and stabilized,
“Status report” the captain asked from the chair,
And that was the moment when we all realized…
We were the first vessel about to travel through time,
Via a wormhole found in Andromeda’s spiral galaxy,
And as we came closer and closer to the coordinates,
We understood our journey was beyond any fantasy.
Suddenly we felt the pull through the dark of space,
We picked up momentum the lights began to stretch,
All the controls on the bridge began to destabilize,
“Hold on!” the captain on the comm said on edge.
Relampago’s engines thrust at maximum velocity,
At the speed of light the light then began to bend,
And as we went traversing into the dimensional vortex,
The ship shook when “HOLD ON!” the captain yelled again.
We were suspended in time from mind to cortex,
The energy pulled us in deep it touched my soul,
In the depth of space we were afraid of the unknown
Because that’s when we went through the wormhole….

Indigo
The shuttle from my home
planet Indigo took longer than
expected.
Once we entered the atmosphere
the shutttle was unbearablly hot
and sweaty the smell of pheromones was intoxicating.
In all appearances it seemed
most everyone on board was
near my age.
Our capital city of Cimmaron offered an incentive to take the trip for research purposes.
A decent paycheck and housing in exchange for the gathering of data pertaining to coitus
Anxious to get my housing assignments I stood near the front waiting for departure
Inhabitants on this planet were called human
The only intelligent species on the planet that we were allowed to copulate with
Some were rather attractive their skin soft, no scales and a slight pinkish color the male's had but one cock, unlike myself and the other millions on my home planet who had two much larger than the human species
We are what humans would call azure
or blue
Although I don't think the names do us any justice
Feather soft scales in graduating sizes run the length of our body front and back my cocks sit side by side with a nub at the root or higher or lower depending on the anatomy of the woman
human females had what is called a clitoris that is suppose to unleash them causing a waterfall I think that our design would fit them perfectly.

Roswell
some alien heads rolled
after that fiasco in Roswell
and a once decorated saucer pilot
wound up driving a cab in his home town
and mowing lawns on the side
and spending his late nights buffing floors at a bank
anything
just to hang on
to try to make a living
and keep the lights on
and food on the table
and the wife said it was okay
that she knew it wasn't his fault
but he could tell things had changed
just something in her big black alien eyes
told him that the magic had gone with the money
and it was also obvious in the little things she did
and didn't do
like those headaches at bedtime
and goddamn, she'd never had headaches
and since when did she work overtime?
and she said, "Yeah, well, we need the money now."
and he wondered if he was just being paranoid
or if she was really cheating -- if some schmuck was banging his wife
while he was out busting his tired old extraterrestrial balls
trying to keep his end of the bargain
but then who could blame her for needing something else
after what he'd put her through?
and he thought every day
and every night
about those last seconds at the wheel
when his whole life suddenly went to shit
and there was fire in the hole
and the ground was rising fast
and he tried to pull out of it
but it happened so quickly
and floor buckled
and the glass flew
and then his crew lay broken, scattered in that field
and the fleet scrambled
trying to get the survivors out
before the earthlings rushed in with their flashbulbs and scalpels
and primitive bullshit devices
and he made it with only seconds to spare
and thought, "Thank god!"
but nowadays he wished he'd just died in that crash
because, hell, things just weren't the same

Alien Angels
When they fell from heaven
Saying that they’d save us
We thought they were angels
Until they became hungry
Who had saved us for later
