Quatern Nr.07 — Rune Visit

The spaceship took me slowly to the moon    
to have a look at footprints in the dust    
it hummed a kind of anniversary tune …    
technology became the one to trust.    
    
I stared out through the portal to the stars    
the spaceship took me slowly to the moon,    
too old to journey all the way to Mars    
I thought I’d better make this trip quite soon.    
   
The moonscape looked a bit like Herbert’s ‘Dune’    
our landing slot came clearly into view    
the spaceship took me slowly to the moon    
along with many other tourists too.    
   
And back in ‘sixty-nine was in my teens    
and watched the scene as if it were a rune    
which grabbed my mind to wonder what it means:    
the spaceship took me slowly to the moon.
