so you sent off some rockets- <br />to the moon, no less- <br /> <br />starting in 69, <br />an auspicious sign <br /> <br />for tao watchers <br />and any others <br /> <br />with a sense of history. <br />there was poetry <br /> <br />in those encounters. <br />so what happened? <br /> <br />you scooped up a few stones <br />and left. you haven't been back since. <br /> <br /> <br />nasa* what's your reason <br />for not spending <br /> <br />at least <br />one scientific season <br /> <br />on that orb <br />we poets time stars by <br /> <br />and watch blue horsemen pass <br />white sparkling splashing satin? <br /> <br /> <br />*National Aeronautics and Space Administration, USA<br /><br />doug bentley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sad-saga-of-nasa/
