Capsoleer Sonnet to Asteroids
-------------------------------------
Asteroid belts of interstellar space,
Circling the suns by their stellar waists.
Don't judge the rocks by their crusty covers.
In time they will become our intimate lovers.

Massaging, drilling, extracting their nectar,
Jumping around from sector to sector.
Veldspar, Scordite, and Plagioclase
Let me caress thy furrowed face,

Pyroxeres, Mercoxit, and Krystallos;
I can't decide which I love the most.
These and so many, many more,
We work so hard to yield and store.

To take back to our hubs of trade,
Hoping they will make the grade.
To be refined, broken down, or sold,
To build new things, their lofty goal.
