Saturn in the Sky


an infinitude of icy moonlets
from a distance they look like solid rings
growing up, we'd go clod hopping
hunting the critters that live out there
we'd get 10 credits for a pelt
what they could do to a zero-G farm
beauty in destruction
sometimes we'd float and watch them
go to town on a field of space lettuce
but we wanted the money more
