when i heard today
that NASA had discovered
a new solar system with seven
earth-like planets, i sighed
thank god as if i were
closer to getting off

no abrahamic relations, and
cosmically speaking,
40 light years away
is only right next door

any shooting stars

on antibiotics, i
am a mystery lost in
a galaxy of involuntary
orbits, swinging far
and wide for the
purpose of breaking
down and
healing. don’t
come so close, lest
these drugged molecules
take a swing at you

musicians can feel the stars
coming on – riding
across those long orbital
grooves, the old crystal pickup
