Goodbye Spaceboy - For David Bowie

you went supernova with oddly an oddity about space that tied in with the moon landing and your course was set. you questioned the existence of life on Mars created a persona, and wife the Stardusts sung of the prettiest one. loved the alien illogically were afraid of Americans got high got low crashed the same car many times. ultimately not the chaos but the cancer the chameleon called the changeling claimed blessed, then cursed. swung with the best of them- spun songs too Starman, sadness overwhelms we knew you and every outrageous costume change. I saw a blackstar in the sky tonight and knew it was true goodbye spaceboy ashes to ashes funk to funky dust to stardust. 12.1.2016 07:30am
