Chinese spacecraft
circles the moon
bringing back samples
to the earth soon,
While here we fight
over absentee ballots
hitting each other
large verbal mallets,

Read the news
watch the sky
drink my coffee
eat humble pie,
Not lemon meringue
or rhubarb-strawberry
you ask if I ready
I say: “very…”

Saddle our horses
rent a fast car
pack light
though we’re going far,
Watch the moon
in the rear-view mirror
those Chinese rocks
getting near,

The sun is hot
desert road straight
traffic light
we take a break,
Down by the river
a deep swimming hole
the thrill of the moment
together we roll,

Discuss and remember
first time we did it
when we were young
and both hide it,
Back with men
on the lunar surface
no Chinese contraption
with political purpose,

We jump in the water
it’s cold and we shriek
bright sun and nudity
things that we seek,
As we dry in the heat
we again start to play
with youthful stamina
could do this all day,

Wonderfully caught the contrast between the lightness of simply being versus the heaviness of supercharged global politics.

Loved the reference 'in the rear-view mirror'.

Thanks for sharing

It is always so rewarding to receive unsigned comments from "anonymous" who offers such wonderful and useful insight into another work and has the value in their own option to sign the comment and not just toss a unsigned brick at someone else's work, oh the humanity ... have a nice day .... hope to never hear from you again...

What is the point? Do you think the Chinese are writing poems like this?
