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
