    Joe DiBuduo

    Like the hero of Cryonic Man, author Joe DiBuduo grew up in Hano, one of the toughest neighborhoods in Boston. He became a writer and an artist, not a prizefighter, but in his rough-and-tumble youth, he never turned away from a street fight.DiBuduo is also the author of a second mixed genre paranormal novel, The Mountain Will Cover You (JD Books, 2016); a second volume of connected short fiction, Story Time Karaoke @ The Chicagoua Cafe (JD Books, 2016); a historically relevant memoir, Crime A Day: Death by Electric Chair & Other Boyhood Pursuits (Jaded Ibis Press, 2016), and a popular narrative nonfiction book, A Penis Manologue: One Man’s Response to The Vagina Monologues (JD Books, 2009, 2013). His publication credits include four collections of flash fiction and a collection of his signature “poetic flash fiction;” a collection of sci-fi poetry and a children's storybook. Jis poetry and short stories for children and adults also appear in online journals and in print anthologies. For more info about DiBuduo's work, see joedibuduo.com.

      Michaela inspired me to put this collection together.

      The following poems were written in the year of 2,011. These I put aside as my space poems so one day I could publish this volume. Some of these were previously published in my poetry collection, The Power.

      1—Space Travel

      One hundred and forty nine years

      ago I lay me down to sleep.

      Awake now, my veins burn my brain,

      malfunctions, and my kidneys scream.

      Repairs will automatically be made

      when Robo flips the flushing switch.

      He has been awake all these years,

      watching over us.

      His program tells when I awake, to

      drain the fluid before I drown.

      His wheeled feet roll him to my

      fluid filled capsule, and he says,

      "Rip Van Winkle didn't need any help,

      why do you?" What has Robo

      been doing all these years? Instinctively

      I know, reading outlawed books.

      The preservation system automatically

      shuts off when I awake, but the switch to

      drain must be stuck I start to drown.

      Robo can't smile but he does.

      He says in monotone speech, "You have

      to die, but don't worry, I'll carry on the race."

      It's then I see her, my mate, my love, her

      and I were to populate a planet.

      But now I see she has been awakened

      Long before me, and has borne three children.

      Not one of them looks like me. Why they even

      have wheels for feet. Just like their father

      who is about to pull my plug.

      2—Space Vacuum

      It came from out there, a powerful suction,

      carrying her onwards and upwards, she swirled

      spinning round and round, out of control

      through a transparent sea green whirlpool, changing

      her molecules from blue to green.

      Suction pulled his particles at extreme

      speed. Suddenly stopping, he felt a warm

      breeze gently carrying him through a sky

      filled with shimmering clanging cerulean radiance

      originating from her closed but seeing eyes.

      A world with a square blue sun and a

      chartreuse sea, with a gently blowing breeze

      and glistening emerald colored sand.

      It soon became clear the land was a jewel,

      solid emerald and she sat on a ruby red throne.

      Satisfy my needs she said.

      Ecstasy overcame him.

      How could he not do what she wanted?

      Her molecules glowed so bright they withdrew

      from his field of sight.

      Blinded by despair, he felt

      as though his universe exploded,

      as though his entire family died,

      as though he’d be better off dead,

      as though he was out of control

      Her molecules returned with a greenish glow,

      his spirits soared towards the four sided cobalt star

      emitting hazardous waves of sapphire light.
