I may have grimaced
when the sophomore from Connecticut
asked me how many people
go to the moon every year.
"Zero" I said.
She was surprised and asked
why.
"Nixon."
was my only response.
I must have shook my head
When the macher from Johannesburg
asserted that nobody
had ever visited the moon.
"We certainly have" I responded.
"Why hasn't anyone gone back?"
He asked.
I've noted
that I've asked that myself.
The conversation turned
to life and Mars
to elements and the stars
to comets and impacts
to mining and contracts
By the end
I know
we all were smiling.
