From Catastrophe to the Moon

(Where Dreams Come True)

40 years ago Saturday
the Prince got on that white horse
where it was parked between performances.

The vehicle had been hot-wired
so they took time to fix it.
Good, old-fashioned work.

The dragon-slaying Prince
photographed nude and expanded
died atop some kind of rocket.
