Bright Red Spoon 

Make sure to wrap their meals
Clear shiny plastic
It’s a long ways
to the edge of space

The food these
weightless voyagers eat
Careful wrapped
in clinging polymers
emitting their adventurous
Nano particles

There is a weak
blood/brain barrier
floating
in this endless night

“How does one control
the reactor at
the rear of the craft?”
They ask

Enough plastic to make
a bright red spoon
has scooped away at their
cognition

The stars are so bright
and beautiful
out here at the Oort Cloud
So far beyond the crazy moon
They no longer can operate
the radio

God has a plan
