Space Poets

Of those who have gone to the moon;
do come back soon.

Of those astronauts 
that just watched
other’s fool around in the dust;
a most worthy career I trust. 

We are all spacemen and women,
though women generally prefer
space walking to swimming.

Those that do not care too much 
for dust;
in God they trust.

Some spacemen
turn dust into light.
They are quite a sight, up all night
shoveling 
and digging to make wrong things 
just right.
