The Astronaut
On the morning
of the day
they are going
to shoot him
to the moon
the astronaut
wakes up yawns
and stretches
then remembers
he must leave
his children
his wife who
awake now
yawns and then
remembers too
his penis especially
doesn't want to go
into all that
cold black space
it wants to stay
right here
where it's warm
but if
he's going
to have to
go it sure as hell
is going too
