N.E.O.

Thomas Morgan Robertson

N.E.O.

Near Earth Object.
A solid body whose orbit lies within the orbit of Mars.

Moons Asteroids. Meteorites.

And human debris.

You can see a meteorite almost any night.
Go out to the desert

They are pieces of stars,
You might find a piece.

Same as you and me

They have travelled through space for thousands of years.

Perhaps you will get lucky

but you will never find a piece of Soyuz

or Sputnik or Apollo 9
They are still out there

They are very faint
And the pollution in earths atmosphere

washes out their pale light

Floating without air, without light
Or else - charred on the re-entry

They are still out there floating

Within the orbit of Mars.

Look at it this way:

a river of space, a ribbon of time

like a burial by a beaurocrat

undercover of a cold war risk.

a cloud of dust-a cloud of rubble

spinning in space on the heels of the Hubble

a parallel, or a temporal rip

in the belly of the Cosmos

a fossilized finger
Somewhere in a hanger

Stored by the government, hidden from the press

some young top gun s first solo

turned out to be a N.E.O.
