Observing You From The Other Side Of The Galaxy
by Constance Brewer
Everything is perfect when
you look up from far away.
Everyone's face familiar,
remote, muted as tuned out
radio static – a diminutive
rocket in the stratosphere,
passing overhead. Kaleido-
scope swirls of color spin
beneath a distant sun. Objects
appear to linger – dots, specks,
thought vibrations mined
from isolation. Peering through
the back end of rose-colored
binoculars, the horizon
ideally bent in the shape
of things to come.

Doctor Smith...of "Lost in Space",would agree.
Darn. I was going for a more 'Trek' vibe. But I'll take my villains where I can.
Bravo, your idea is useful
