Received On Earth: An Ordinary, Even Routine, From UpSky, The Premiere Aloft Dormitory On Venus
Like all the others, our own dormitory
hovers in Venusian clouds, surrounded
by the planet's sulfurous atmosphere. Yet,
my roommates complain about my excessive
flatulence. They say I release, into their
vicinity the most horrifically odorous farts.
Through every kilometer of its orbit around Sol,
achieved before the completion of its ordinary day,
they complain most vociferously
that I subject them to a constant barrage of stinking farts,
as we hover, suspended, in this sulfurous muck spread
across the Venusian sky.
