fly me to the moon

i'm writing this from the space
capsule
heading to the moon.
i've managed
to sneak onboard
and hide under some packed
up parachutes.
unfortunately they found
me out
after i clogged up the toilet.
my advice is to never
eat Ethiopian food before
a long trip into space.
anyway.
the crew has accepted me on
board,
i mean, what choice did they have?
i've been instructed
to not touch any of the blinking
buttons.
they are also keeping me
away from the door
that says Escape Hatch,
as i float around,
arms akimbo, like a monkey.
thankfully i found an extra
spacesuit in the cupboard
next to the Tang and beef
jerky. apparently
one size fits all.
we're getting to know a lot
about each other,
reminding me of summer
camp when i was young.
they told me i could document
each day,
and report to my followers
our exciting journey
as long as i don't keep pointing
out the window
and yelling, oh my God,
look at that.
i have to admit it's a little
tight in here,
right now there's a giant
space boot
resting on the side of my neck.
i'm hoping to get a window
seat later when everyone
falls asleep. i slipped a little
Ambien into their Earl Grey
Tea.
