Semi Electric
By Joe Pivetti

Henry is a teamster. He works the Saturn line In the new trans-light special, Hauler of oxygen and wine. He lives at higher G's than we So he's become a bit thick. But when he's high in orbit His mind is centered like a brick. He drops in once in awhile, Descending on reactionless drive... It's the constant lack of inertia That seems to keep him alive.   It's lonely in interplanetary space, With only memories to keep him company. Thankfully, he's a story rich man due to c-plus relativity, Whence we've never heard it before, back through to infinity.
