Dear Yuri by Brian Moses

On this day in 1961, the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel in space and to orbit the earth. His groundbreaking flight led directly to the “space race” between the United States and the Soviet Union, essentially an adjunct of the Cold War.

Dear Yuri

Dear Yuri, I remember you,

the man with the funny name

who the Russians sent into space,

were you desperate for fame?

There surely must have been safer ways

to get into the history books,

perhaps you couldn’t rock like Elvis

or you hadn’t got James Dean’s looks.

Perhaps you couldn’t fight like Ali

or make a political speech

so they packed you into a spaceship

and sent you out of Earth’s reach.

And Yuri, what was it like

to be way out there in space,

the first to break free of Earth’s gravity

and look down on the human race?

Dear Yuri, I wanted to say

that I remember your flight,

I remember your name, Gagarin,

and the newsreel pictures that night.

And you must have pep talked the others

when they took off into the blue.

I’ve forgotten their names, but Yuri,

I’ll always remember you.

Gagarin’s cosmonaut career was short lived. After a fatal accident that killed the crew of a space mission for which Gagarin was back up, the Soviet authorities retired him from space missions, afraid a national hero might be killed. Sadly, this did not save Gagarin: confined to flying MiG fighters, he was tragically killed in a crash in March 1968 at the age of 34.

Shopping Trolley

Brian Moses

Scoot down the aisles in my shopping trolley, I could go for miles in my shopping trolley. Never say excuse me, never say please, ram it in the back of someone’s knees. You really won’t believe your eyes, my shopping trolley’s been customised. It’s got bull bars, radio controls, engine in the back and it purrs like a Rolls. It’s got a Volvo chassis, a velvet seat, and around the store it can’t be beat. It does somersaults and big backflips. roly-polys and wheely dips. It goes over seventy miles per hour, flashing past in a burst of power. Scoot down the aisles in my shopping trolley, I could go for miles in my shopping trolley. Never say excuse me, never say please, ram it in the back of someone’s knees.
