Asgardia
The land of Gods hangs in the sky
No Man's land
2038, twinkle in the night
screams across the blackness
like a fast-moving jet among the stars
5 miles a second, 17,000 miles an hour
roughly estimated
too fast for one to keep track of
just slow enough to appreciate its crossing
Asgardia
Nation of Intersectionality
and Internationality
star-bright gravity-riding home
to the world's brightest minds
a testing ground for future thought
turned future tech
to save us all,
and move us on to bigger brighter worlds
and guide us with its shadow
Land of the godhead
manifest corporeal earthly destiny
the bringer of the obelisk
of Kubrick's monolithic Jupiter mission
home to the vacuous silence
and manufactured atmosphere
ineffectual climes
closed-loop molecular economy
prolonging the inevitable
The when and where Asgardia falls
on this planet or another
and the way we look when it does
will be what determines everything
