Interplanetary Blues

a cultured alien riding on the third rock from the Sun, the Horned Fox wails a sad, ragged tune...

before being joined by the horns of the moon;

the bass booms from Jupiter,

we hear cratered guitar chords from the red luminescence of Mars...

before the great Milky Way, the vast starry, expansive array

breaks into stellar song of hard times and the lessons learned...

like blue Picasso's outcasts and suicides; and the paintings they earned
