People really don't give an hoot
When errant angels get the boot
Unlike a cat
They just go splat
And nary a soul says they're cute!
Mitch McConnell knows how we feel
Now he's found Climate Change is real
But - with a fist-bump -
Replied Donald Trump,
"Well, its my JD; we'll appeal!"
COSMO: ASTRO
Russian Cosmonaut
or. Markin Astronaut
on space expedition.
Competition.
Systematically,
Periodically,
Both countries rush to win
Contest: Tough-keen.
Controversial theme
to fulfil cosmic dream
studying Solar System.
Victory to claim.
Both gives priority:
“Superiority”!
Which country to advance?
Just happenstance.

Astro-Nought
I never said I was dead.
I never claimed I was real.
I never saw you as a great.
I only tried to feel.
I couldn’t help you in space.
I’m way too far away from love.
I remember your tear-stained face.
I am giving up.
I never believed down there.
I never believed up here.
I never seemed to care.
I only saw what was never near.
I lived in my dreams.
I hid away from the world,
By floating off into a place of make believe.
Fantasy kept me alive when I wanted to be still.
Here, take my grief.

Astro NOT
Astro galaxies dark, deep in blacken space this universe, astro not
in the present tense, astro not
of the year 2025
Why, the sun refuse to shine, astros gone...
For the SON has come down

A stone turned up
where no stones turned up
where stones turn up,
where we dug today...
A stone turned up
when no stones turned up
where stones turn up,
when we dug today...
Maybe if you saw it with
my eyes, and from my
cracking heart...Maybe if you
held it in my shaking hands,
maybe if you saw it through my
steaming tears...
Maybe if you saw it there,
where stones turn up
when, today no stones turned up.
You, too woulda seen the
heartstone I saw
as I buried the heart I buried
where stones turn up.
Planet diving the galaxy,
Moon shoes on it's a moonwalk,
Give me love and show me love,
You can tag along on this trip,
We can gaze the universe for fun,
Count the moons for time,
We can have the whole of worlds to ourselves,
We can reach if we believe,
Teleport to places no one has ever been,
Birth beauties of reality and reside in manifestations of will
And the Rest is...Restful/Restless
tonight
At last, he sleeps
beneath the stars and,
for once, beneath the grass.
tonight
at last, she sleeps
beneath the stars and
for once, above her horse.
tonight
One sleeps peacefully
one, fitfully.
One free,
one free of free.
tonight
Both sleep.
tomorrow
One rises,
one sleeps
a mother,
her horse.
tonight
One dreams of tomorrow.
tonight
One dreams of yesterdays.
I'm here tonight
to stand in the ache.
The ache of hollow,
the empty of the not
simply empty; rather,
the empty of the
recently full.
The silent ache of
missingness, of quiet.
Before the ghosts have
risen, before the
memorial stones are
set. Before the cards arrive.
Before the flowers
are vased to wilt.
I'm here tonight
to stand in the ache.
Of what so recently had
been.
Of who was.
I'm here tonight
to stand and weep
and shudder. I'm here
tonight because
you
are not.
The place wair I live , is called Astro-sitty ! And I sure can tell u that this place is
Pritty ! This beautiful town is the place of my dreams .
And Moest of the kids here belong 2 the teams !
In this beautiful town , are sum gize not of earth ,
And nun but thair parents , know the dates of thair birth !
The streets here are paved with gold ! And weather controle sattellites
Mean it's never cold ! We found all the munny from al Capone,s vaults !
And all our chocolate shakes have extra malts !...
