To the Moon

by Hawki

Poem: Fry had always dreamed of going to the moon. He'd never really expected that actually going there would be his first delivery run. Yet something felt...off, about the experience.

A/N

Probably apparent, but I'll specify ahead of time that this stems from episode 2 of season 1.

To the Moon

It was my first delivery,

Upon a rocket ship.

And though I tried to hide it,

I looked forward to the trip.

…

Back in my time it took a week,

To get to the moon and back.

So I thought there'd be a shorter trip,

Supposed I could relax.

…

So I started up the countdown,

The ship launched and then went zoom.

And before my words were finished,

Before me stood the moon.

…

"One-thousand years," I told myself,

"some things are going to change."

And yet something felt off deep within,

Something that felt strange.

…

So on the moon I walked its surface,

Beside a line that was quite long.

One day into this future life,

And some magic, it was gone.
