A Poem for NASA, and a Few Words on Mistakes

Modern Man by Ned Mudd

NASA

thank you
for showing us
the Earth

spinning
like
an ice blue
eyeball

in a bowl
of
squid
ink.

is it true you’re
building
a shopping center
on Mars?

the stars
are
weeping
in
their
sleep.
Mandala by Ned Mudd

A Few Words

in a collapsing universe
no gods
no best picture of the year 
no Copenhagen interpretation
no Baseball Hall of Fame
no underground railroad

our first mistake
had nothing to do 
with apples.
