The Space Hotline

My a/v club friend told me
you can use a ham radio to
make contact with the
International Space Station

I dreamt of a space hotline
1 900 ORBIT
so I rang up a spaceman
asked him if he could see
meteors from his window or
what’s it like to drink orange juice
upside down in a jumpsuit

Also, some relationship advice wouldn’t hurt
I assume astronauts are worldly fellows
how do I ask out the cute girl in my
creative writing class?
Do you think writing a romantic poem
where we fall in love under the northern lights
would come off as overbearing?

And before I let you go, Mr. Spaceman
would you mind crooning through the cosmos
your voice floating through the telephone wire
one solid cable that stretches from this
tiny house all the way up to your
sleeping satellite
