ve story

ve is twelve
ve has been twelve for a long time

ve travels in a spaceship
with vis dad
most of the time they're in hibernation
when ve monitors the systems
ve likes to read books

a journey to planets takes long

now they live on a dark blue planet
where navy clouds don't have shapes
and neither do shadows
dad reminds ver
to be careful around local kids
ve has a disease
vis tears are toxic
lethally to the people of the navy snow

ve is so happy to have a friend
to play with on the cushioned ledges
to take ver on adventure

they sit swinging their legs
as always
somewhat apart
