Forever orbiting

 Forever Orbiting

With the refund from the

Acme Deluxe Time Machine

I ordered a Satellite

Forever orbiting

It wasn't the latest in

Satellite

Spy technology

One of those Sputnik era

Machines

But it was good enough

To read the license plates

From outer space

Good ole Nikon glass

And metal.

I set the coordinates on

40.6831 North

141.3690 East

And sat up til four AM

Every morning

Perchance I would catch

You passing

The wife said there is

The Internet and Skype

And FaceTime what are

You thinking?

I do not know 

It seemed such a good bargain 

Much better than that

Acme time machine.
