Brown Astronaut

he sees you on Facebook
while orbiting earth

your brown face
and pretty smile

bring back memories
of long ago

when you were sixteen
the payload

property of the
secret service

mean-spirited
un-manlike

but necessary
if you love

being in space
as much as he does

pretending the space program
is really about space
