Poem #199

space girl!
you can have more than the world
space girl!
let your flag unfurl
space girl!
take this ship for a whirl

space girl!
you’re cute
in your baggy pastel suit
on your galactic route
launch the supersonic parachute

space girl!
you’re brave
willing to risk the grave
it’s humanity you save
send your song to the radio waves

space girl!
you can have more than the world
space girl!
let your flag unfurl
space girl!
take this ship for a whirl

space girl! space girl! space girl!

float through the nebula
nothing is regular
more than incredible
real, not the replica
scan her retina

it’s space girl! space girl!

stars that glitter
hit the transmitter
and she skitters
across the universe

space girl!
you can have more than the world
space girl!
let your flag unfurl
space girl!
take this ship for a whirl

space girl! space girl! space girl!
