solving problems with Mildred

as i sit with Mildred,
drinking Irish coffee
and talking about
how it feels like
were nearing the end of the world,
we begin to brainstorm
solutions on how
to make things better.
i suggest 
getting volunteers from
the penitentiary
and putting them into the space
program.
first man or woman
to Mars could be someone
like Lizzie Borden,
or Al Capone,
or maybe a couple like
Bonnie and Clyde.
anyone walking the green mile
would be perfect
for space travel.
their reports back could
be invaluable.
why not? why waste a single
life,
they're doomed anyway.
it's a win win
for everyone involved.
they could pave the way
for a new
world to live on, and start
over with a clean
slate.
