I found this poem from 2012, I titled it "science fiction writer"
i wish i were
a science fiction writer
with prose so beautiful
and i could tell you
about the red seas
under two suns
and the creatures who lay
their tentacles by the shore
and wrap their antennae
around each other
carbon escaping with carbon
skin hardening
veins flowing with venom
4 hearts melting into one
i wish I could tell you
about how they met
when the sea receded
and the clamicorns swam out into the horizon
and they found each other
perching there
on the ferg stained rocks
in their gold day's finest
bronzed from the lower setting sun
their tenticles touched
by accident
oh how their caretakers would of bleed to death
to sense such a thing!
two young Godears
still flush
with the exoskeletons of youth
tentacles grazing tentacles
fixation chemicals taking hold
they found forever mates that day
and i can not tell you about it
because i'm not a science fiction writer
