My Spaceship

[rowens]

The poem could have some minor cuts. Could could could could could. These are just some quick suggestions along the line.


The upstairs room feels like a spaceship.
A vessel to conduct my extracurricular endeavors.
to Malaysia,
Alaska.
save my sick mother.
the inner workings of Walt Whitman's mind.

I've entered a ship with the windows closed.
That contains all my gear for anything or anywhere.
Mental preparedness and physical appropriation
to make it happen.

a feeling of inspired contentedness.
This is my place.
I'm ready.


I think I'll go downstairs...
