I wanna be
an astronaut man
I'll seal the airlock
to my cardboard box
jumble the sides and make
"k-csssh" PA noises to announce
to myself that we are leaving Earth.
I'll check the systems:
Yes! We're go. And the thrusters
penetrate me through the heavens
...or so I'll say, taking a swig of my juice.
I wonder what the moon people will be like
Are they nice? Do they share their toys?
Are they a capitalist society, or do they have
an entirely different social structure from ours?
These questions will weigh heavily on me, as I look
out the window and thank God that at least now
I won't have to worry about finishing school.
