Gemini colonies,
Contradicting Newton,
Removing peasant self-determination
To heights of status
...
Where the Styx is wide the Earth is fen.
No dock transcends the mud
To tie a boat to or to lend
A vantage point to spie Elysian Fields.
...
Competing Agendas
Gemini colonies,
Contradicting Newton,
Removing peasant self-determination
To heights of status
Intolerating modest aspirations
For this life.
Occluding fantasy perspectives of still others
More intolerant of modest aspirations.
Not surmounting skies,
Yet asserting fiscal presence.
Taking modest leave of physics.
Contradict no more!
(Boxford, July 20,2009)
