When I Set Out for Acamar
(With a Nod to Thomas Hardy)
When I set out for Acamar,
***a hundred light years away,
***the galactic winds were at play.
I thirsted for an ice-blue star
when I set out for Acamar
***a hundred light years away.
What I should find at Acamar
***while held in its gravity field,
***AI had not revealed,
nor had my cogitation jar
said what I’d find at Acamar
***while held in its gravity field.
When I came back from Acamar
***with fins and an extra head,
***some gawped, some swooned, some fled—
they said that I had gone too far
when I came back from Acamar
***with fins and an extra head!
