Orbit Overtures

He is

Rocket Boy

He chases dreams

around the sun

before breakfast

His room is

the ship

and he speaks

at the speed of

light

about the stars

he will pick

for me

instead of

flowers.



He speaks of little

besides this

Orbit Obsession

He is delightfully and differently

delayed



Yesterday

he taught Aliens

to swim

in the doggie's water dish



Today

he learned

there is little

Space

in the park

for small boys

who think

that the

sand

is fairy dust

and share

by throwing some

in the

air.



He quietly

sits

on the swing

refusing

to look me in the

eyes



While a father

tells  

a Perfect Child

to leave

the little idiot.......



Alone.
