The Society of Rockets

About Me

The only thing in front of him was space: America ended in isolation, where the child was born, laid in a cradle of rice straw, poppy, peyote, and nightshade / and at his side, the ox and burro watching, without understanding. And ahead of him was the world of rocket ships - satellites - computers - frozen bodies waiting to be revived - underwater civilizations - the ocean conquered by the earth - men inside other men: transplants, the reconstitution of cells, organs made of plastic - combustible water - men with gills - talking animals/the maximum in communication: Macluhanluhan III / absolutely no distance between two points - and a new conception of liberty: an earth of love and green seas and forests and wide open fields in flower and a mother country and goodness and hope and the altar AND Jose, Joe, Joseph, Jose saw (heard): the covered heaven. Locked shut. An incandescent metal plate. Closed (Irremediably). With a cover. The metal formed a ball. And the world was locked up inside it. The earth enclosed. The intrepid sphere.
