I’ve heard it said
What seems like
Good instruction
be not attached
To things. So
maybe three
times or maybe
four.
Passed it on to
Titan yet there,
throughout
all my lifetime,
it was, and is,
in orbit,
next
To Saturn.

I’ve heard it said,
And sensible it may
Be.
to forge your
Own trail cause
Convention will not
Become
The mother of
Invention. Passed it
On to my captain
Who drew new plots
And graphs found
Board our
ship discovered
somewhere
Lost at sea.

I’ve heard it said
And it seemed
The path
Of progression
to do things better,
as a gift
to the next
Generation.
And now
mostly done with
Looking I wish
I’d followed
footsteps
That connected
Me and you
much
Less to now
and
more
moored my
life to then.
