MY FAVOURITE STAR TREK EPISODE
Here
in this constellation
of a kitchen
that exists
only in its own
long ago
I create
worlds
bravely going
where every boy
has gone before
the clothes horse
becoming my Starship Enterprise
clothes turn into
Klingons
the roar of the range
my engines
that "canna take it Capn'!"
the whistle of a kettle
enemy fire on my starboard bow
whilst in the other dimension
of an attic
my mother misses her step
as first one leg and
then another
crashes through
the ceiling
Warp Factor 9
plaster and debris
attacking my clothes horse Enterprise
as her yelp
of help
opens on
all channels
and me Da
quick as Mr. Spock
rescue her
just as
Star Trek
begins
on our little
black & white
T.V.
How...
...illogical?
