Ad Astra in Three Parts

By | 4 February 2025

I. Life and Death
with line from Ad Astra screenplay by James Gray & Ethan Gross


We were marooned here on purpose
carapaces removed—exposed and wandering
We ransacked what we could of civil
life we wondered what made the earth shake
Our eyes were double-visioned all
the time now we wobbled just so just as they
said the earth would wobble before
and Roy was told one day at a desk with aplomb
by Brigadier General Fallon:

Your father has threatened the
destruction of our entire solar
system. Does that not mean
ANYTHING to you?!?

Then everything or nearly everything became
clear: if the monster was the father then
the world ending would be catastrophic and we
would end up eating ourselves
