87 Cards

In 1982 I thought Tron was the best movie
Though I had never seen it, I wanted to go
But instead my parents took me to see E.T.
Which I really didn’t care about before
But once I saw it, I was captivated
I’d get on my BMX and pedal around
Imagining I was on the run from the FBI
Racing my alien buddy home
I collected the trading cards pack by pack
Buying them at the corner store down the block
Sometimes trading with kids at school
Eventually I had all eighty-seven cards, a complete set

She’s walking very slowly
Being careful she doesn’t slip
She must be new around here
On this shiny ship
The stewardess struggles to walk
With her velcro-bottomed shoes
Bringing dinner to me
While we fly to the moon
We’re living here in the future,
two-thousand-one
I’m the only passenger
While the men pilot the craft
The woman catches my wayward pen
As I take a space nap
Not in much of a hurry
We’ve got all day and night
Heading to the moon base
A two-hundred-forty-thousand mile space flight
I heard there’s something on the moon
That’s been buried for a long time
We dug it up, a black monolith
With dimensions one, four, nine...

Slipstream

Flying high above the surface
River of wind washes the planet clean
The earth reshaped by The Convergence
Aloft in the Slipstream
In pursuit of a well-dressed man
Running around the ruined mountain-rim
Falls from high, pulled by grappling hook
"He thought the wind would save him"
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."
"And Thou art Dead, as Young and Fair"
He's quoting Magee and Byron
He wonders what it was like growing up
He believes he knows where he belongs
He heals the blind boy's sight, a simple thing
He wants justice for his own wrongs
Wanted for killing a man, they want to turn him in
One wants to restore law, to apprehend
The other sees a bounty to break out of poverty
But what he really needs is a friend
