National Poetry Month: Justin Million


Overview Theory


For months after the astronauts are back
I bet they drop

their first few glasses, or their relatives’
babies; temporarily

lost on them
the world down here doesn’t do like

in the tubes.
Space allows

a perspective of Earth
most who have been have found 

difficult to drop,
or hang on to.
