Let Me Tell U About Ajax

celestial moons celestial suns celestial stars and black holes
reflected in our vessels windows 
all rainbow colours that seemed to bleed into the velvet inkiness of
the planet's atmosphere

not much was growing on aJAX I could tell 
as Ij umped from our vessel- jumped high
for miles I could see cactus by rivers 
and the heat was almost palpable
sweat was pouring down inside my spacesuit
as I jumped I jumped I jumped
weightlessly from rock to rock to rock to rock
to stone to stone to stone to stone

I was alone amongst the cactus and rocks and stones-
my cohorts were exploring on the other side of this planet
I saw another vessal land
gently
doors opened and lights whirrd out
and a funny noise unfurled itself in my ears
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I was mesmerized and held in a sort of fearless moment and
found myself calling for my fellow spacetravelers
they appeared and
in a split second a profound connection was made
these bubbles of energy
consumed us in an embrace
filling our organs and our minds with a kind of white light that
smacked of Nirvana
and suddenly the planet revealed itself to be a garden of eden
with air we were able to breathe with our human lungs
and many different hued  fruit
simply dropping from green and white bushes that crawled along the edges of the
streams

and the bursts of energy were able to assimilate themselves into humans
as we discovered we were able to assimilate ourselves into these bursts of energy
and we discovered
we were one
in the same underneath it all -
even the planet that gave birth to us out here...............
