13 | Walk the Planck by PS Cottier
educated pirates
test astronauts’ physics
walk the Planck
lonely visitor
ship wedged in Scots mud
luckless monster
infinite boredom
pills inside food sacks
space piñatas
worms eating ships
aluminium wriggles
voyagers dessert
no gravity
bones become feathers
never return
