Astronautic Dream
From the nest of newness and modern discovery
Materials that proclaim a new technology
It is only diamond, now nano-thin, beyond fire's
Wrath, and winter's whisper of cold desire
The thing nothing can change or destroy, at last
A turtle dome equipped that into space will blast
Dilated at rest, infinitesimal in motion's swift
Transition without resistance, or drag, the lift
Spontaneous reaction from each part to part
And I the hologram ... captain and console chart
Ready to cross the wormhole of galaxies, light
Like a static comet, and time eclipsed with delight
Did ever Ezekiel saw such a beast, or dream wake
Upon bright Da Vinci's brain, or NASA's genius make
Such craft so self contained, a city without man
Where loneliness ends before its thought began
For only holograms are carried there into space
To chart the new frontier of the human race
And we beholding ourselves in glory, by beholding
Change, and meet and merge the singular becoming
Through the spiral back before time began or space
Did all our memory of eternity so inefficiently erased
Each diamond quark a colony of self supporting strings
The little ship of light that man's immortality brings.
