Nineteen Forty Nine

In the Beginning, there was Chrome
A measured tale of Romance and Tragedy

In the Galaxy of the Nineteen fifties, there were only a scant few starships

several burgeoning lunar cities, whole Fiction fleeced Binaries of dark and doom yet to be spread

Yet to Lather our milky-canvasecular trope in half, barely there micro-expansion And the Lonely gem

of our Heart-Sun had only just erected the talisman-gargantuan of towers at her still Virgin center

Silvery Pink, only picturesque in her blacks and whites

only recently discarded Sepia Cosmos tilted to her golden Era’ed stride out the Ethos

or the Zeitgeist or whatever blew away with the Great Depression, felt in the Universe

as a Dull and dusty sandstorm, Ballroom chandelier crooked with a million little dents

No matter, her roaring twenties her shambles of stars, dangling from an Over-Sexed earlobe

No matter her gracious Industrial constructive early teens, this beautiful Buxomer Blonde was

a New Gal Pal by the fifties, by the time the bomb had struck her Virgin Petticoats revealed

the Cosmos what-if speculumed wide open for all the doctors to view, no less her Religion in Shambles

This Maybe adorned starlet had a silver screen and a heart of gold Then somewhere in some

Asteroid she was sure, some Glimmering Meteor of Hope plate laced in Chrome

Teal dreams were not keeping this moth-winged wunderkind down, no dreary dreams

of some sixty hippy loving revolution born in her blue prairie eyes just yet

she was all sunshine and something else’s, whodunits and wingding things tucked all over her vast

and corpulucent bodice, some much fiery gold and the turned wonder of her motor cars

the something other and the where we going now boss mystery of the Crime of the century

the Crown Jewel thief of time the Cosmos then, the stealer of headlines and the birth of a God
