Yours, the quixotic, pixilated, former mixologist, Jxm LOVEYou soar far into the blueSailing in bright light, over the heads of man.Suddenly someone tosses a faded rosebudInto the spear of the wind, a missile that should never reach you And down to the ground you drop. ZERO DEGREES HAIKUit's the time when airbreaks like glass and stars crack outof the sky: winter DARKNESS DESCENDSThe lights are out in Skylab tonight. The lights, the computers, all of them.The monitors, the servers, the switches, The hubs, are all dormant and dead. The fans are off. The projectors powerless. Every plug pulled. Even the coffee pot.
