Selling Space

Diamond planets on layaway

Stellar corpses thrown away

Purple ribbons of DNA

And silver spoons in mouth

*

It may look white, but it’s blue and red

A race of oranges on a narrow thread

While satellites mess with our heads

The sun dyes our hair

*

They’re selling space to the googolplex kids

With golden grahams of fake eyelids

While android hands place their bids

Ignoring their embedded denial

*

Fifth dimension sure looks green

Entropy has gone obscene

My solar twin must be quite mean

But there’s not much we can do

*

If you’re blue

You’re bleeding through

If you’re blue

I’m bleeding too
