AT THIS RELATIVELY EXACT MOMENT

AT THIS RELATIVELY EXACT MOMENT

sent my cats
into outer space

because I felt
they perceived me to be
too idiosyncratic

felt that they
would be much happier
living on a planet
without humans,
perhaps ruled by dogs

and there they are now
up there about
to leave the solar system
on their way through
the galaxy

tons of recyclable water
and cheapest brand
pet food

about to found a
new civilization some day
at this relatively
exact momemt
    off all our
star charts already

the most sneakily dominant
infuriating predatory species

we have
ever seen
our world has
ever had

HELLO GEORGE

HELLO GEORGE

hello George
are we in Lyra
is this the star Vega?

good to see
you
   we have.the same
name we
could be friends

cannot hear so well
from inside that thing
must be a
     space helmet you
are wearing

red and yellow red
and gold we
are so brightly
coloured
   this evening

and he you are
mumbling stuff about
yards and downs
and winning
    turn overs
and not being
on Vega
     but in Nevada
Las Vegas

and completely ignoring me
you have just
jumped on
the ball
