[stylist] A triolet--Space Lyrical

[Jacobson, Shawn D]

Dear list.

Below is a little triolet I wrote; it's about how science fiction has gotten darker over the years as it takes itself more seriously.

Space Lyrical
by Shawn Jacobson

I miss the way the future used to be
before tomorrow grew too hot to stand.
We'd travel all across the galaxy.
I miss the way the future used to be.
The universe would all be ours to see;
the very stars would leap at our command.
I miss the way the future used to be
before tomorrow grew too hot to stand.
