what to bring to mars

we've gone
way beyond tang.
you see wine,
fermented grapes
in a box
at the grocery store
and wonder
what's next.
potato brewed
vodka in a can,
like popeye
and his spinach.
martinis
in a jar with
olives
already added.
freeze dried
beer in a
cellophane
package? we
are preparing for
that voyage
to mars. shaken,
and stirred.
