The Astronaut in Trouble

Member since 2003 · Posted 3 Mar 2003 · 2 comments

I am not an Astronaut. But Oh God I wish I were. I have all the air I need to breathe right here on Earth. Oh God I wish I didn?t. Somewhere sometimes I think someone may be breathing, But I wish they wouldn?t. I wish you wouldn?t. You are taking up my Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon, you are taking up my arrogance. My arrogance, My trouble, Oh God I am in trouble. Water is the same as air and air Is the same as land, the land is where I lay, My drug, my beauty of choice, my Oxygen, the drug. I am no Astronaut. I am no Astronaut. Oh God, Thanksgivings for the drug.

Settle's astronaut poem was much better. Bless him. 3.

"You are taking up my Oxygen, Nitrogen,
Argon, you are taking up my arrogance." is great.

The rest is (for you) mediocre.
