I dreamt up a cottage of Mars brick
with window-potted foreign algae.
Romantic spacesuit hops through
canyons probably inhabited
with purple tri-faced terrestrials
[laser-laws were erected for human safety].
Sunless weeks with constant
complaints of my attempt
to find a way to make lunar-
power work as electric and water
(and my teche-mind will... i-in ti-ime).
In the middle of pumping
factory-made gas inside,
I hear you whisper;
“Astroturf is fake grass, baby.”

"A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood. The writer wants to be understood much more than he wants to be respected or praised or even loved. And that perhaps, is what makes him different from others."
