trekkie love

     engage.
        —capt. jean-luc picard

he gave me
his vulcan
hand and
i pressed
my human
one against
his in like
fashion.
it seemed
a bit bar
baric to
me, with
its simpli
city, and
yet it was
also very
sensual.
we’d wait
ed for so
many
years
just
for this,
our first
contact.
that’s
how it
is when
you’re
a couple
of love
nerds
light
years
from
one
ano
ther.
we
left
the
space
ship hand
in hand
and
stayed
that way
until i dug
my key out
of my pocket
to get into my,
now our,
holodeck,
where we
collapsed
in supreme
exhaustion.
and never
once did we
leave, like,
not ever.
and thusly
we lived
our fabulous
future, which
is to say we
lived long,
we prospered
and, it should
go without
saying,
quite
happily
ever after.
