Moonlight
How will lift-off
be accomplished
what with cracks &
fissures showing
in the craft
Though I’m desperate to go
anyway
And you assured me
all had been
engineered specifically
taking into account
any possible mishaps
Immediately raising my red flag
PLUS
Brimming with stardust
the craft
seemed under-stocked
on food & essentials
Though the wine cellar
held enough to get us
there— and on to
Venus if we wanted
