well
well
I’m back
not from leaving Frodo off
to sail to a healing land
but
from hospital
where I got some new parts replacing
olf and tired
and need rest themselves
like me
from time to time
no Mordor
but
the operating room
where they were helpful
introducing
themselves and telling me what
they
were doing
then I feel asleep
dreamed
dreams
then woke up no longer there
in dreams or in
the O.R.

You know,
With one mistyping
It becomes the thirty-ninth of August
While maybe
On another world that
Tilts only a little differently,
It is that day
For real

And our two worlds will need
Adjusting, once
Interstellar communion
Has begun

For now, inside out heads,
Where we travel and negotiate
Our future
Planet-faring selves,
We might make welcome places
For all we may discover
That will change us
In good ways if we’re ready and
Thankfully

We can go
If we send our best
And a moral code
I don’t mean a crazy code
I don’t mean a conservative code
I don’t mean a liberal code
I mean a human code
Inspired by what we understand
As loving and wise divinity

You think practicality
Will take us, and it won’t
For we all know that machines
Of all kinds
Work fine
Until they don’t
