ROCKET BOY, A Selection From THE SUN LOVES EVERY PLANET







He was quiet

He kept to himself

The only person he’d talk to

Was his brother

He rarely left his room

The only time I can recall seeing him

Was when we would pass him

In the hallway when he was on his

Solitary journey to the cafeteria


He wanted to go to the moon

The dark side

And he wanted to stay there


When he wasn’t too busy

Cleaning the resin out of his bong

He would trip by himself to Floyd

Time permitting

He’d immerse himself in more LSD

And treat himself to repeated viewings

Of A Clockwork Orange


Last I heard

He dropped out of school

He went so deep into space

He never made it back to earth
