Space Kept

Mr Spaceman
missed the space
man
too sad
to slow down
alone

A break prevailed and
brakes failed and
stopping is nothing
but a distant
memory

Keep it and
face the creep and
don't tell him
how to act
he tells
you

Sick of space
Sick of this place
but there isn't a way
to stop
all by himself
only there with
only his thoughts
to think about

He would try
He would cry out
but what good
would that
do
except perpetuate

Space kept by
Space creep
and then some
without ignorance
love or
arrogance
done.
