should I travel far enough into space
there would be a time in autumn after 8,
where I'd sneak out of bed as a child,
drunk on sleep and counting sheep
in warm pyjamas and bare feet
I'd often long for those times
when the world changed after night
and the carbonation of fuzzy TV screens
became a portal to my own magical world
of dragons and fairies and other flying creatures

If I were to shoot a rocket up to space, and leave this world for good, would I end up back at those days dreaming sheep after sheep, where nights were a little earlier and a little longer and a little calmer and a whole of a lot better
