Reach Out and Touch Someone

two

hearts

beat-beat

entangled

I taste her coffee

we lick our lips and touch ourselves

later we realize we should have used protection

tracing the probe
to its planetary source

arthropod cities

Life Goes On
 

Hydroponics have gone Precambrian,

olive green cyanobacteria

coat the trays where tomatoes

and beans once grew,

and there's something ediacaran

about the thin flat worms

peristaltically climbing

the pitted walls.

Blue Star by morning,

red star at dusk,

the ship's new ecology,

metazoan free,

eats the controls,

and does not wonder.
