going to mars

i tell no one about
my trip
to mars.
i leave no forwarding
address.
i pack lightly.
just my silver suit.
my helmet
and a good pair of boots.
i leave
my dog with a neighbor.
kiss my
wife goodbye.
she hands me my lunch pail
and waves
as i drive
towards the rocket which
will take
me away.
i leave her a note
on the nightstand.
going to mars,
be back soon.
i hope.
