i am a space man
and i play with planets like yo-yos
(bounce, bounce, up and down),
threading string between scalding stars
like my life depends on it,
trying to send you a spiderweb message
with salivating constellations dripping from my fingertips,
Charlotte's Web,
tossing your planets, juggling your planets
in my fishbowl helmet,
playing astro-naughts and crosses
with the moon
three in a row:
i love you.
