The Last Alien Astronaut
By Reid Baer

Gravity is the reigning rule
around here outside there inside
here as associations swirl
around my sphere of influence

My complex of constellations
drawing as many elements
as possible seen and unseen
lovely and mean to the center

Of it what exactly is it
how long has my space ship been bit
by bit by bit by bit by bit
by bit in descending orbit
