spacewalking
I was seven years old
when man first walked on the moon
for some reason
I recall I really wasn’t amazed
after all I had learned years earlier
and saw for myself
there was already a man on the moon
—and from what I understood
a reality since the dawn of civilization
and now in the news today
amateur astronauts are walking in space
something totally imaginable
except for the fact
there isn’t anything out there
to set your foot upon
september two thousand twenty-four
