ground control to major tom

i could never
be
an astronaut.
i can barely
drive
three hours to the beach
without
going insane.
stuck
in my seat.
bumper to bumper.
i have to
pee.
i'm hungry, i'm thirsty.
Houston
get me out of here.
i've got a cramp
in my leg.
there's an itch
i can't reach.
i miss earth.
with all these switches
and dials
and tasks to do,
i have no time to read.
