A Heinlein Maneuver
fantastic mechanism for time travel
by freezing the door into summer
then finding and taking credit for
some future invention
it was a Heinlein maneuver
incestuous flashback of all you zombies
built on ploys of a high school boy
for writers interested in prophesy
bet your Dick on breakfast at twilight
it was a Heinlein maneuver
warn us what the end would be like
and bizarre human problems encountered
caused by time distortions
its relativistic dilation for the stars
it was a Heinlein maneuver
the curved world-line Einstein long resisted
of sending telephone signals down the line
to measure the echo of time
by the bootstraps of philosophical desperation
it was a Heinlein maneuver
like laws of logic preventing angle trisections
or squaring Farnham Freehold's family circles
he blasted him future-ward by nuclear direct hit
with popular sexual loops in time
it was a Heinlein maneuver
for the farthest paradox in the zombie zoo
for a science fiction porn-star fan's view
sex with one's mother back in the future
for strangers in a strange land
it was a Heinlein maneuver
