A desert so fallow
A strange, empty tableau
For this space cowboy
It’s time to go
A Poem Inspired by “Time to Go”

A desert so fallow
A strange, empty tableau
For this space cowboy
It’s time to go
An idiom’s a turn of phrase
Just another manner of speaking
It helps a mental picture form
Creates an image of what we’re seeking
With a snap, crackle, pop
The bonfire roars to life
He whittles some spits
With his worn pocket knife
