More Than One Trick

I started this month with a story submission to Raven Electrick. Having spent most of the month revising and placing the story elsewhere, I had three days to send Raven something new by today's submission deadline.

With Raven's 1,000-word limit, crafting a new sci-fi story was possible, but then I thought Why not a poem? I've been meaning to get back to poems.

I remembered a sci-fi-ish poem I'd written in grad school. I pared that down and built it up until I was happy with its message. We'll see if I get into Raven with a poem, or as Captain Sulu said in STAR TREK VI, "Now we've given them something else to shoot at."
