Outer Space Haiku (Haiku Series Volume 8)

I’ve gone back in time
write this forgotten poem
outer space haiku

I’ll just imagine
thanks to my gift of foresight
far and near future

two’s a company
millions mean overcrowded
of course, three’s a crowd

this Earth is too small
to host all of us Riders
don’t bump into me!

it’s not an option
it’s a fake moon anyway
the landing at least

we’ve colonized Mars
just like in my red iPhone
it’s an awesome app

there is Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
if you don’t like Mars

do not dare forget
there is also King Pluto
oh? wait? what! fuck that!

blame the scientists
for demoting our King
such revisionists

listen, this extreme
tribalism will be the
big death of us all

the rich and wealthy
will voyage to outer space
leave us commoners

outer space mating
create the new Plutonians
I wish I’ll be there
