Marriages like rockets
Launched at distant planets
Everything necessary
To propagate new life, new families, whole new worlds
Greater than the sum of its parts
Spreading like waves
Part of a hurtling cloud
Other rockets, satellite souls, come and go
Making kids now
New lives joining in
Rockets become stations
Serious now, plans, goals, not only survive and grow but win
Rocket’s getting rocky
Bumps, near crashes
Resources feeling strained
Tensions rise, maneuvering asteroids, gases, disasters
