Misplaced in Space

Outer Space
Coffee House Writers / Ivor Steven

there is inner space  
and there is outer space 
I like to travel in both places 
life is not a race 
my database  
is my bookcase  

I have yet to embrace  
the coalface  
face to face  
and this human race  
has misplaced  
the meaning of grace  
and lost the paper chase  
to the corporate greed of cyberspace   

tonight, I’m flying to inner space  
aboard my “Itmims” spacecraft  
to find a redeemable place 
inside humanities headspace 

“Itmims”: Ivor’s Time Machine In Micro Space
