get out of town

i sign up
for the space program.
i just
need to get away for awhile.
it's a round
trip
to mars
which may take
a year or so, but
i've got some free time
on my hand.
i have no astronaut
skills,
but maybe i can do
the cooking on board,
bake some cookies
for the long trip,
point out the stars.
i think i can drive
for awhile when they
go to sleep.
i used to do that for my
father
when he passed out
behind the wheel
in his big comfy car.
