Floating in space amongst the stars
with nothing to push off of,
and nothing to hold on to
is the most terrifying place
for a man to be.
Yet it has become the norm.
All zipped up snug and tight,
safe in our space suits
we cannot reach one another.
But to take off this helmet
for one fleeting kiss is to risk
asphyxiation.
