The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Interstellar

Of course, it’s true that you’ll need a licence;
the fact is this time it sure is rocket science -
which you’ll know from the force of the boot up the bum!
That’ll open new fields of expectation and fun.

And you may think me terribly direct and brutal,
but for the moon and beyond I’m still the most crucial.
It will always be so until the day that you have
the scientist’s pipe dream that is called anti-grav.



Line count: 8
Rhyming couplets
