Trans Space

When I discovered I was no longer a boy
I saw woman as a distant planet
visible through a telescope
who was in another galaxy

I pointed my rocket ship away
leaving father Earth and his gravity
which left me sailing in free fall
not sure how to navigate

watching rockets fly past me in the same direction
and other motherships float more toward Earthen feilds
seeing some of us get caught in the gravity of smaller objects
I often wonder if any of us reach home
