Science-fictional hsinku and quads
Science, myth and
fantasy
Future joy and
sorrow;
Dreamer, come
enchant me
With life beyond
tomorrow.
Don’t take time
trip!
Push days into
spin
Make just tiny
slip
You’d ain’t even
been.
This book make
slip;
They don’t show
rite
That move that
ship
More fast than
lite.
“This plug,” says
punk
(make such huge
deal)
“fill head with
junk
That ain’t even
real.”
Just what does Zugs
From afar star
hurl
With eyes like
bug’s
Want with Urth
girl?
“We come in
peace,”
The green man
said.
“Came we for war
You’d all be
dead.”
Said robot to man
“You low human
slob!
Behold my evil
plan;
I’ll take your
job!”
Build cities in
space?
It doesn’t seem
fair
Pay owners of
place
Food, rent – and
air.
“What is true
reality?
Computer, say the
word!”
It answered with
finality,
“Your question is
absurd.”
“I seek your
boss,”
The star man
sings.
“That is your
loss;
We have no kings.”
Why read science
fantasy
Mostly thud and
blunder?
I seek marvels,
mystery,
Vision, sense of
wonder.
