no, i don't want to do that

i could never be
an astronaut.
i don't like cramped areas,
having grown
up in a house
with seven kids
an assortment of cats
and dogs,
gerbils, crawfish, frogs,
chickens
and birds.
i need the wide open
spaces.
plus, if i was an astronaut,
in that uniform and helmet,
heading towards
the moon or mars,
how could i ever get 
to this itch on my back
with a wooden
spoon.
