“Make
it so, Number One”
-Star
Trek: The New Generation (often)
Up at 0630 with coffee and Tuxedo-Cat
In the west-fading light of the still-full moon
To watch and hear and feel and touch and taste
The waning of night, the beginning of day
The air was cool, the grass was damp, the birds –
The birds were LOUD, fussing from tree to tree
An old lawn chair, layers of paint over rust
Was our captaincy over possibilities
“Is all well, Number One?” I asked the cat
He blinked his eyes that the world was ready to sail
