"Vulcans never bluff."*
Mr. Spock

My True Confession

I’m a trekkie… yes it’s true , I am
I seldom confess it
and never have I confessed it
in public

Star Trek brings out the adventurer in me
I’d like to boldly go
where no man/woman has before
especially now, since it seems
our whole world might be blown up
by some power hungry idiot
with an A-bomb and an itchy trigger finger

I’d like to think we had an alternative
to annihilation and oblivion
a new home… even if the natives
have wrinkled purple faces
a third eye in the back of their heads
and speak riddles in a language
that sounds like gibberish

I’m sure we could defeat culture gap
if we drank enough of that
potent, blue Romulen wine at dinner

I’m a die hard trekkie
sometimes during a day from hell
I feel like screaming into my flip phone
“Beam me up Scottie”

Captain Kirk was the obvious love interest
of most of the female crew members
and an occasional green skinned alien lady

but Spock, Spock the pointy eared
pan faced Vulcan really turned me on
It was simply illogical but I think
it was his cold logic
that fired my irrational emotion

anyway, I still watch the reruns
sometimes when I need to escape
the trials and tribulations
of being an earthling

and when your brave heroes
are being attacked
by cloaked Klingon warships
or eaten alive by intelligent artichokes
life on Earth don’t seem so bad after all
