My fantasy on Cloud Nine

I dream of replicators in
a calm space installation
just outside the wormhole
leading to the gamma quadrant
run with care and wisdom
by The Emissary and the
incorruptible Odo at his side.
I yearn for explosions in heating conduits,
aliens with evil intentions
and Universe threatening weapons.
Cardassians seem benign now defeated,
their only legacy too much Yamok Sauce
cluttering Quark’s storage area.
Jem Hadar and The Dominion,
a cinch to deal with in my opinion.
It’s so much easier to imagine life on DS9
instead of struggling each day to cope with mine.
