Welcome Home

On August 2, 2020 Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken returned to Earth from the ISS

Sitting in a floating buoy

that's burned black by the atmosphere

the graceful parachutes still falling

while fighting with the inner ear

There's nothing to do but relax

cause the trauma's already done

The mission's a complete success

Welcome back to gravity, son

Your departure made grown men cry

back when you reached maximum Q

Your rocket boosters bloomed flowers

of shimmering flame shoving through

So sit back and enjoy the calm

while you're rocking on the water

Cause you know damn well in 9 months

one of you's getting a daughter
