Thin Blue Line
Today, October 13, 2021, William Shatner
went where few men have gone before.
He entered space on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin.
Thin Blue Line
thin blue marker
we think it’s phat
we live by the blue sky
by the earth’s green
it’s where we’re at
Shatner shattered
so very fast
his inner universe
blown, by
the exclamatory
sensation
life here on this
puny planet—
well lit, colorful…
blowing kisses
a masterpiece
life and death
quickly experienced
there was light
then there was dark
we carry ourselves
as burdens,
living large
yet
we are infinitesimally
small
God
is infinitesimally
large
yet
he knows the count
of each one’s hair
shall we challenge
him to a duel?
possibility of winning—
futile
shall we grasp
the hem of his garment—
the thin blue line?
adoration, satisfaction,
salvation, divine
