Is Mercury a true messenger
to the Gods?
Or are spacemen pulling strings
from way up in their pods??
"I'm not answering"
he said
"we shouldn't be asking such things"
so I turned
from my perch
having learned
not to listen to nobility,
even if they have wings...
Spacemen come knocking at my door
Telepathically speaking mysteries
Showing me things I can't describe
Maybe one day I'll be able to look up at the stars.
Silently living a mundane life
Never making a scene
Careful not to talk too much
Afraid to voice my opinion
For fear of the Spacemen.

Boy asks priest:
Sir, I've seen spacemen that need to wear spacesuits because it's cold in outer space
do those who go to heaven also need spacesuits because of the cold?
Priest responds: No my son, souls do not feel the cold in heaven.
Boy responds: If souls cannot feel cold, how can they feel hot in hell
Good question
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.
Retrorockets blasted
Spaceship settled down
Soft landing on a planet
Dust plumes swirling ‘round.
Crewmen tested atmosphere
Before exiting the door
Donned cumbersome spacesuits
With a planet to explore.
Soon, strange life forms appeared
One tall, one nimble and small
Each wore purple leaves, from purple trees –
that’s all.
The small one plucked purple pears
But before she ate, gave one to her mate
The spacemen shouted quickly--
“Stop! Please wait!”
--James Tate
