Neither Here Nor There, a rengay


frozen with you

a faded rose you picked

on sad old Earth


Ship had to wake me early

my tube was on the blink


under far-off stars

I play games with avatars

lose every one


Ship randomly

sets its skill up or down


old 3D vids

with new endings every time

all comedies


cryodeck

and airlocks sealed against me

that one episode


plastic cutlery with meals

spoons only now


I run

shouting through corridors

not my nursemaid!


I’m splicing genes in roses

Ship will save the best for you


I look at the stars

some day Ship will let me have

a knife again
