2015 Poetry Post 8: Questions in my head while traveling from south to north


What will we bring
with us
into the galaxy
if humanity
expands
as some say
we must?

Will the first tattoo
predate the first PhD?
Will the first dive bar be constructed
before the first statuary is commissioned?
Will we construct townships
of obsolescent habitats
before we build kindergartens
and teach kids
what it means
to be "it"?

Will the first mojito be poured
before the first hangover is suffered?
