If here I chanced to live

It stands to reason 

Does it not              

That my writing of verse

Would work in reverse

And I'd be back amongst my family

Because nothing else

Makes sense to me

So the writing of poetry

Would keep me in their lives

Just that much less

But spelling success

So how could they be

Against my moving here


Aye indeed

For what other reason

Would they build 

Such a goodly station

If it wasn't meant to house

Some form of life

Of the humanoid kind

And I wouldn't mind

If that good form

Was me myself and I

Living in the sky

High above the globe

Of an alien people


As here again

There had to be a reason 

For the building of such a station

And the study of life

Made the most good sense

Not that I was the kind of man 

But learned in such a study

The feeling that I felt

Of this my future dwelling

They had the wherewithal

To make the study

Be done by metal life


All this to say

I could do my thing

And worry not 

About such hardful things

Like doing a job

That poorly paid

And tired me so

That I could scarcely be the writer

I knew that I could be

With the good of poetry

Being the driving engine


Sounds like a dream it does

But dreams come true

And so can this one too

If I can do one thing

Make technology sing

A song that I can hear


Or simply put

I need a miracle yes 

So my success

Can be assured

And the good of the word

Is mine to harvest 

Like never before

So I live a life of more

Instead of less
