Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Like Apollo Or the Shining

this being
closer to what
was supposedly
really said as
not a mankind
leap but a step
for a man
not man 
in general

for history
in a way they
say repeats it
self as i can be
heard breathing
heavily as i light
ly step out and off
of a plane for
my first time

on not only South
American soil but
dark coffee grind
Colombian dirt
as earth can only be 
described what up
until now has been
for me seen from
a telescope

Kubrick died in ninety 
nine so never saw 
the real 2001 but
is said to have made
a reel of an event if
needed to be faked
so in my case in case
i don't make it
i'd like Coppola

to cast a fat
Brando as me
coughing out
cotton balls
stating so
everyone
knows this
is the real
fake

the 
horror
