Blurry on one side
Doubled on the other
By the grace of random chance
I can still read
And the books are calling
Full-throated
Whispering
Oxidized and fresh
At every stage of life
Anderson's Shield
Each page letting go as I turn it
Heading for that big blue recycling bin
In the hall

suns gutter out
and galaxies grow cold
does this ship have brakes?

a physics major
it is a great way to start a career
as a science fiction writer
if you can write
if you can do physics

Two poems sold to Kaleidotrope. Still traveling. Found sev. books at good bookstores, incl. Tau Zero by Poul Anderson. Reading Bierce's tall tales: so funny. One of my nephews has been writing poetry. Haven't read any yet.
