square — portal

of space — to Space,

that grainy, — last frontier

now front — and center,

armchair — and moon

close — companions.

Beyond camera and crew; beyond Houston; beyond

airwaves that ride high outside our knowledge; beyond

Mrs. Stouffer’s mashed potatoes, every mother, father,

sister, brother huddled about a set, those grounded

rabbit ears tuning us into a future beyond that edge-

of-our-seats shot filmed ’round the world; beyond all

that—we’re there, each of us, two-stepping between

craters, bouncing into wild blue possibility far beyond

1969 and our three-channel, living-room imagination,

desperately dreaming of soaring beyond what we

already know of beyond.
