the size of a thumbnail,
foolish,
with one arm flailing
help me won't you

i built a spaceship

/glass, spit, twine/

it's a two-seater
but room for extension

/one dog, one cat, no ponies/

plenty of water
and cold air,
piled blankets to the ceiling
and
SPACE

i put glow-in-the-dark stars
on the glass roof

we can see the stars
and the stars
can see us

the stars can see

i over react
put newspaper under the glass
with sticky-tape
like
a sweat shop
in the centre of the city

you can't hear
