He has a large midnight blue

Hemisphere with pinholes for stars

 

My son’s room is festooned with planets

Some literal, some imaginary and two dimensions

 

Many textbooks, some worn, even tattered

Science and Biology, a scattered few about birds

 

There are many airplanes, all kinds

And not a single spaceship

 

This concerns me – that the Heavens are

Well represented, but no way to get there.
