station suffers from
an iron deficiency
where are the robots?

We thought the station had been taken over by worms, alien worms with mouths like garbage disposals, but they turned out to be the friends we knew. Alas, they did not know us.

Dizzy

Powered by a micro-Hole,

The station began to wobble;

Broken loose, the Hole

Swirled spacetime

Like an etheric smoothie,

Jones on her roller skates,

Distal-ring flying,

Wove a drunken pretzel,

While proximal rings spaghettied,

Into the Hole’s black heart.

Still beyond the surface of no return,

She thumbed her suit on,

Took a crazy arc outward,

And cranked her throttles.

The shuttle was right there,

And there oughta be a cool trillion,

In her private numbered account.

we found the kid
in the outer ring of the station
well past the terrestrial zone
he'd skated with a hi-g gang
when he fell
they just left him
he'll be restricted to zero deck
till he heals
and we've posted signs
THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN

tossed salad
the chef is nearly done
when grav flickers

a scrap of paper
impregnated with a new strain
the station melts

the planet below
lights twinkle and fade
while the rest go out
