space jail
June Henry
[Verse}
Sent into space jail
For our cosmic crimes
I don't quite know
How I'll serve my space time
I think I'll get back into reading
Try to tap Morse-code through the pipes
In space, can they hear you screaming
The way other cars do when you drive?
I wanna rear-end every Tesla
That I see on the road
Like Victorians with train engines
I want them to explode
I'm so scared of the future
So I'm clinging to right now
I'm so scared of the future
Like your spaceship of a house
I'll collapse in my bedroom
With Nyquil-spiked Earl Grey
And run all the forevers
To keep building anthills in my brain
