I remember at a party two people arguing over STARTREK. One was a Trekkie, he loved the show, thought it possessed greatness. The other didn't much like SF, especially StarTrek. WHY DON'T YOU LIKE IT? he asked. BECAUSE SOMETHING ALWAYS GOING WRONG. IT'S JUST ONE GODDAM THING ANOTHER! YOU SEE, said the Trekkie triumphantly STARTREK IS REAL LIFE! Well that's the striking impact your poem had on me. It's the constant barrage pounding us down.
