Between the Asteroids

         Between the Asteroids

I fly my boat between the asteroids
In solars where the rocks are still sun-kissed,
Begging for a miner's drones and droids
And lasers aimed with greedy, steady wrist.

The stars don't mind us misfit humanoids;
We cruise the region we all call O-mist,
Expressions on our faces overjoyed
That such a wealth of liberty exists.

At times a fleet defensive is deployed
To meet invaders with defiant fists,
Bust mostly wandering pirate scum avoid
This space, or lose their place on bounty lists.

I fly my boat with love I can't resist
Between the asteroids in stellar tryst.
