Something I wrote today while talking to someone..."


I want to fly a kite to the moon and jump a ship to Jupiter... 
then to fly to venues, from there to mars and mercury, 
from there I think I'll go to Pluto, then to systems far, 
so far away we see them small, as just bright little stars... 
to alpha century I'll go, another place real close... and 
colonize a planet there, plant grass to start the growth... 
from that I'll get new oxygen, from that I'll make a lake... 
a lake for fish and frogs and life, to be there when I leave...
I want to fly a kite to the moon and jump a ship to Jupiter... 
then to fly to Venus, from there to mars and mercury, from there 
I think I'll go to Pluto, then to systems far, so far away we see 
them small, as just bright little stars... to alpha century I'll go, 
another place real close... and colonize a planet there, 
plant grass to start the growth... from that I'll get new oxygen, 
from that I'll make a lake... a lake for fish and frogs and life, 
to be there when I leave...
and then I'll stop on xenon 6, to try their chocolate cake... 
for them I'll cook a meal fit, for their royal snake... 
they'll like me there, I think I'll stay, for a year? a week? a day? 
and maybe then I'll come back home, and probably get locked away...
the men with white coats will be after me, they'll not want me to say... 
that anything exists out there, they want to keep it that way... I'll sit in long sleeve jackets, with arms tied around my waist... in a padded cell so comfy now, but I miss the intergalactic play...
I want to run through winters far, so far away from here... 
but nothing asked for something back, I'm stuck forever near...
the end is but beginning now, nothing has changed you see...
for every day I walk the earth, but soon I will be free...
