I think that witnessing ecological problems visible from space is one of the new and essential roles of astronauts.

Astronauts
couples on the verge of divorce
have become astronauts because they always say they need
space.
it matters, and matter is that
which occupies space and has weight.
i need space. i am gaining weight.
i am standing on a cliff, on the verge of an abyss
i am not afraid
i want to fall, because i am an astronaut too needing
space.
i miss the fun at the opening of your beehive.
sort of your art boutique
i did not forget it.
i need space.
i need space.you badly need more space.
tomorrow morning you will ask me
why did you write a sad poem last night?
and i too, now, needed more space
to lie,
i will ask you,
which one?
did i?
i cannot remember.

Luck In Space
It was pure luck of survival, before the event,
The whole journey was plenty of protein;
A few wanted a launch into space, an universe
Of authority that terribly spoke to the sun.
Stars followed and pattered due to light,
Smart accusations to aliens were made.
A deadly slow space-craft was the effect,
Helmets were worn to save a crew of special captains.
Then survival became essential, like the fog,
It crept and dismayed me as a work of craft;
The vessels of space supplied me with fortune,
My fuel for the fire became the sun and stars.
So much the better. The astronauts were readier,
Without their cricket and gold on Earth.
A few hours in space meant a century,
For time became slow for some reason.
The dead spacemen had to be found for they lived
Among the stars for all eternity.

When many astronauts go to space, they see the insignificant size of the earth and vastness of space, and they become very religious, because they have seen the Signs of Allah.

Just because the solutions of problems are not visible at any particular time does not mean that those problems will never be alleviated -- or confined to tolerable dimensions. History has a way of changing the very terms in which problems operate and of leaving them, in the end, unsolved, to be sure, yet strangely deflated of their original meaning and importance.

I remember growing up thinking that astronauts and their job was the coolest thing you could possibly do... But I absolutely couldn't identify with the people who were astronauts. I thought they were movie stars.

I Want The Universe
Depressed and taken by stress,
The woes of infinite space are understood;
This space continues to guide the heart
And all those hearts of a blessed variety.
Chiefs shall consider chemicals for their bodies,
Astronauts keep biological experiments.
The defeated reign over the victorious,
And clear universes stand alongside ours.
Then be cautious if you consider woes
To be the confusion in the midst of alien attack.
Absurd and breakable, the space-man
Connects us with living-space,
The ever-living cosmos,
The significant place
For entrances
And exits.

Metabiosis Links Life Enriches Bio-diversity
Metabiosis links life enriches earth bio diversity
Eco-systems of symbolic symbiotic sister-hood
promoting Planetary partnership mothering earth teaches primordial
parental principle of mutualism essential value of one
yin-yang exchange creative/consumptive biomass equilibrium
soul-growth rooted in stable distribution charity benefiting all biont life-forms
loyal honey bees labor not only to serve hive and crown
but for the benefit of all the land
enriching aesthetic sweetness of life's mosaic
with vivid variance of color
butterflies bless the ovules offspring
in return for savory nectar
Sophistication of Survival requires even simple
single celled organisms play indispensable roles
algae shares photosynthetic storage solar cells
essential in coral sustaining oxygen exchange
fish and anemone teach us life-relations
beyond conceptual friend/enemy identities
tooth-pick cleaner fish
promote oral hygiene like fearless miners
foraging micro-leftovers from mouths of sharks
bacterium provide bi-product metabolites
promoting healthy cellulose digestion amongst termites
all parts play distinguished nuanced roles in natures micro-energy-exchange
even feces serves the greater good - life enriching organic waste
fruit seeds pass intact along intestinal tract proliferating green-growth
furthering future plant-life
Invasive human ambitions threaten ecological diversity
homo sapiens spawn technological pathogens
civilization's unchecked expansion
causing earth-indigenous homogenization
cost cutting oversights induce primary pollutants
bi-products of Economic Progress
industrial errors resulting in ecological roulette
man must avoid parasitism pitfall abyss
must remain mutual caretaker-children of the land
technological innovation intelligence imagination
all developing as direct result from our time on earth
symbiotic philosophy to save not only society
but the planet at large
earth-born natives mustn't
imagine ourselves high-tech alien invaders
despite ingrained stellar ambitions
stimulating sci-fi imaginations
identify ourselves not
as an earth exploiting space age race
destined for lunar/martian colonization
reach for the stars?
- no -
kneel and plant kisses on
earth's mineral-nutrient-rich
life-sustaining soil

Sonnet: Atlantis, June 2007
Thank God, the Atlantis is back on earth,
With seven astronauts, all safe from space!
The touch-down though delayed did cause much mirth,
As space-shuttle glided on an air-base.
But what a feat, a woman had set up!
Sunitha Williams is a famous name;
One ninety five days in space-station, Yep!
Her new record has given her great fame!
Not only NASA but Indians are proud!
What stamina and nerves of steel, she had!
Her near and dear ones must have prayed aloud;
They made it though the weather was quite bad.
Their success is a feather in their caps;
’Tis time to slumber well and not take naps!
(Fondly dedicated to dear Sunitha Williams/6-23-2007)

Problems
I have problems, and you have problems
Let's make problems with our problems
When I'm the problem you're the problem
But we know where the problem for one another
I start my day by any other way
Looking under my bed for the metallic crate
Encrypted with a steel isomorphic key
Projecting documents enveloped with two words
"Today's problems"
When I have no problems I make more problems
To entwine the world with inventive problems
What would we do if we did not have problems?
Neglect our security for hypothesizing new problems
Problems, Problems, Problems
An exegesis of problems
Categorized and productized
In rationale arrangements
Ontologically customized
Parasitically neurological
And involuntarily exercised
I empty the glass and make if full
To furbish the center that never holds
Happiness elixirs baseless catchment
Percolating vertices of inverted orphans
So what's the problem?
