Teamwork

So.  I told my beloved about the dream.  You do remember the Challenger blew up?  he said.   I hadn*t.  I was delighted that we got to learn teamwork before we took off.  I was captivated by the scenery.  I was amazed that we had the road... all to ourselves.  I figured the name said something about what lay before me.  I had forgotten... it blew up.

I slept in.

There was no kitchen

That beckoned

Thanksgiving preparations,

Not even a side dish

To share.

I awakened this morning

From a dream.

I was part of a crew of four

Two women

Two men

On the Challenger.

We were off

To the moon.

Preparing for lift-off,

I closed my eyes. 

When I opened them

We were rolling along

A beautiful road in the country

Golden yellow maples

On either side

The bluest sky

I have ever seen.

It seems we had to learn teamwork

Before we were allowed

To take off.
