Ken and Barbie out
exploring the holodeck
pretending they’re real
Alan Vincent Michaels @AlanVMichaels
We weren’t the first here
Creatures way beyond our ken
first glowed, then went dark
buzz around spaceship
spontaneous combustion
Ken a pile of ash
“Ken here. Scots on Mars?”
“Guid question! Maybe one day,
but … I dinnae ken!”
The alien spoke
Greeting the waiting planet
“Hello my name’s Ken”
A third moonrise.
It raises skin-puckered hairs
as we ken the facts.
Jenny Gaitskell @JennyGaitskell
she’s called Despoina
this new world beyond our ken
but names don’t tame her
she pauses her storm
we invest moments in hope
her weather changes
man won’t hold her in his palm
while we’re cowered by her eyes
That universe lies
beyond base mortal ken to
transcend space and time

New Venus Fly Trap
Hails from Sappho planet
Devours Ken types
Captain, do ye ken?
Cannae change laws of physics
Haggis in the fire
Atmosphere smells sweet
Survival on this planet
Is within my ken
Bard thought a double death
To drown in ken of shore
Graveyard in orbit

Off into the #blue,
Astronauts Barbie and #ken

Just don’t drink and fly.
Martian deflowered,
she rubbed its Ken doll smoothness
unsure who’d give birth.
Crew on the lifeboats
ken slagged metal like soft wax
as Icarus falls
Slings within her ken;
but enhancements are needed ..
lithe enough to dodge.
