Enter Galactic


Grab a seat,
Nestle and chill.
This Ceres will please
And even thrill.

The stage was raised
In a faraway age.

If you care to make the climb
Into the spaceship of your mind
We will traverse with a burst --
The finds will be sublime.

First a BOOM!
Then a BLAST!
Past the moon
Light-speed fast.

Among the stars we will trek,
Gravity behind our back --
Look! Home is but a speck.

Off we go 
To The Show
That's far superior
To the interior
Of that blue rock below.

Above the stuff,
Beyond the yawn:
Radiance of
Alien dawn.

Let go of terrestrial,
Let's go to celestial.

Intergalactic,
Enter Galactic --
It's matchless magic.

A span outside the span
Of man to understand.

It took a minute to make
And the action isn't fake.

Far reach and vast:
A star-studded cast.

On the Grand Director's screen:
Characters you've never seen.

Treasures of neon
Measured in eons.

Advanced expanse,
Stars that dance.

Galleries of galaxies,
Odyssey of oddity.
What next?
Planet X
Or E.T.s @ Gala Z?

The golden glow of olden globes
Dwarfs our Earth's brightest shows.

We are findin'
Worlds of diamonds.

Sparked by sparkles to linger
Like diamonds on a finger.

Starin' @ Saturn's pattern:
Rings like wings
Zing with bling
And seem to sing.

Enormous forces in orbit
That force us toward euphoric --
Let us just absorb it.

Through a swirl and whirl
We reach a new world:
Days are
Lit by lasers.
Those rays are
From quasars.

A sun like none before it --
A portrait unrecorded.

Oh the places with faces!
Traces of Space's races.

See the beings?
A sea of beings.

Beastly species,
Speechless species.

Featured creatures:
Alien creatures
With
Radiant features.

Epic entities,
Entities of energies.

Androids ride asteroids
In this astro void.

Back home,
What's on?
A tale of comedy.
Up here,
What flares?
The tail of Comet D.

A stellar performance --
Colorful! Enormous!

Humans tune in
To illusion.
Hocus-pocus 
Holds our focus.

In a place
Where faces race
To the base
There's a grace
When faces raise
To amazing Space.

There's recovery
In discovery.

Spotlight,
Limelight --
Not quite
So bright.
Right?

Making a Mark

I give up. I give up my decades-long quest to be a [normal] earthly lifeform. I give up the tight grasp on what this world says is important...
