Declan Molloy Poet Rhyme

I'M Leaving Eventually

I'm Leaving (eventually)

I'm going to leave the planet 
never coming back
wave you all a quick goodbye 
as I vanish into black

Traverse the great elliptic 
skipping the asteroid belt
on past the rings of Saturn before 
you'll even know I'd left

Uranus, Neptune, Kuiper belt 
ignoring Pluto as I fly
on through the icy-bound Ort cloud 
waving at Voyager as I cry

Among the constellations 
sail my spaceship unafraid
with my spaceman headphones 
listening to your whinging fade

And when at last, there's silence  
not the smallest peep
time will stop my mind grow quiet 
I might finally sleep

But if I woke in my bed 
and that was all a dream
I'd be awfully sad, disappointed 
in the very extreme
