Long Lander Poems

When you have finished your work, I have something important to tell you all 

Come in closer, closer, I remember walking down 54 street on a cold December in Manhattan 

I had just finish with...

Beware, out-Lander for thy tread on the sacred ground,
Of Louisiana, guarded by the ghosts of the Mississippi,
And here the dead tell know tails, of the living's returning,
After adventuring into the darkness of the night.
Rattle them...

Hear the whispering voices of our tribal ancestors,
Echoing against the rough rock skin of Chacoan Canyon,
Telling the outsider white devils, that this is sacred ground,
Do not dare to tread here, for your own salvation's sake,
Lies...

My eyes see the shoulders of bottomless sadness
You're lonely again you are single anew
I'm mournful with you, melancholy as madness
is endless and tears are betraying now you.
You're looking in faceless their  pitiful image
They will...

Please don't anybody asked of me to decided anything, I am not in the mood to explain:
I do not know if Mr. Trump is running or not, or if...

LONESOME

Old man said he could hear that whistle blow a hundred miles 
and they could write a song about that. 
Said he could tell how many cars a train freighted 
just by how sad...

Relative time from departure body --
Thus, from Earth we hail.
Sailing to Wolf at light-speed tardy,
Cryonic-dreams of Dale.
Awakened, rudely, at a mere eleven:
A technical glitch, a fail.

Three years to seven, it's never exact,
The crew all burnt...

Opportunity and Curiosity
Lost their sweet little velocity
On a sojourn in space to a volcanicity

Mars, the god of war reddened to see two freaks
Were they the angels that Zeus had sent to bring life?
Or were they...

I'm told that I'm supposed to write a sonnet, 
It isn't something I could ever do; 
I know I'd rather shop to buy a bonnet; 
A size six foot won't fit a size five shoe....

Hooming in the near lorizon, 
another girthday makes me bloomy
The yays, the dears are massing paster!
I am diserablly mepressed, and in a date of great sistress!
Age, you may agree, is rot for nissies!

More crinkles fill...

She's a pack-up and lander,
Like the geese and the gander,
She's a Roma,
On her own-a,
In a two wheeled house,
Involved with no weak willed spouse,
O honey! I've no money but I would be your mouse!
Snow White, fibre...

Houston, we have a problem
We’re not the first ones here
Through the dust kicked up when landing
I’m watching a building appear

Houston calling Space Hawk
You stand on virgin ground, 
The dust you tread was never trod
No building...

I never took notice of
 Aunt Jemima photo as exploitation
Nothing racial or stereo types (did you)?

All I remember was the sticky bottle
 on our kitchen table, next to a stack 
 a sack of...

It's neither full moon, nor supermoon
But the moon is brighter than usual 
You know why?
It's because every Indian gazes upon
the moon with pride filled eyes

From growing up listening
to the cooked up moon stories of grannies
To...

Long Term Solution 

 It has come to my attention that the moon is capable growing green 
bananas, goats and sheep but not cattle as they emit too much gas 
into the planet`s thin surface...

Lickety Split was a novice lander elf.
He was pretty much terribly hard on himself.
I cannot conjure up ghosts like daddy, he said.
I cannot bring back spirits, I do not talk to the dead.

But you are...

Can I fly the kite again,
So high
With the wind tugging at its tail
And watch with feelings
Know not in this hood?

Can I make a plane
Out of this sheet again
And will my cares to the wind
As its...

What if I threw my one good grape up high
So high it left the atmosphere of Earth behind
A tiny purple oval object turning over in the sky
A fragile skin the only thing protecting it
As it...

The first red of dawn reveals lacy waves.
The last purple shuts down busy with lights.
Many days alike yet may feature kites
and I wonder how many our mind saves.

Somewhere relatives I kissed,  hugged wander
make the...

Moving into space from the hills of Dover
It’s just a lander, it won’t be a land rover
Time will not count this quiet, lonely flight
There’s no special rush for anyone to write
We worry about a slow,...

Soldiers with the cornered colonel
Said to crack him like a kernel,
Easily made him surrender,
Account of his orders render…

Colonel Smith, on his neck flannel,
Suddenly facing a Panel
In his house and front verandah,
Two watching from his Coriander…

It's thrilling
But so is this poem

I want to take up a most profound authority
Throughout the neighbourhood

A village pastor
And various pursuits of a similar kind

Give me my own planet
My own earf

Postmodernist scumbag
And cowboys from hell days

I...

Come out on the Veranda Amanda 
For the sun is  setting soon 
We will speak of love with candour
As we stroll beneath the moon
I will strum upon my mando-
