Almost Half Way Through Galactic June! – a poem by Travis Mateer

on day fourteen of Galactic June 
behold the rise of claw and gate 
who left the womb upon a blood moon?
what rough beast ripped open fate?

life is like a box of rockets 
on polymarket, where you make your bet 
will it blow or hit sky water?
you never know if it's hot or wet 

should I worry about James Franco?
and the code for monster/child?
on day twelve the 'Berg goes bingo!
disclosure boners sure make them smile 

Yeats, my mate, we have an answer 
a wormhole, butthole, Grey named Lam
prancing like a killer Unicorn 
born from a cut of Kosher ham 

O, dear God, a praying mantis 
from Atlantis will referee 
I'm no fan of Galactic showdowns 
but I'd like to get to day fifteen!
