Apollo II

Where did you go to Apollo?
humanity hung by a thread.
Where did you fly to Apollo?
as I slept so soundly in bed.
Where went the roar
of your tall flaring stack?
Where went the hope
that you'd all make it back?
Where went the trail
of your dirty black smoke?
Where had you gone
by the time I awoke?
Where went the humbled
in front of Creation?
The quiet routine that
enthralled every nation?
Where went the tension
in each living room
through radio silence
behind the moon?
Where went the man
who watched all he knew
rotate like a ball
as it rose into view?
Where went your flickering
tale from my screen?
Soon there'll be no one
who saw what you’ve seen.
Where did you fly to Apollo?
as I slept so soundly in bed.
Where did you go to Apollo?
tell me the dream isn't dead.
