Day 4 -- Iain M. Banks Spaceship Name Tribute
So...for more about Banks and the prompt, see the names for the sci-fi writer's spaceships here:

We were supposed to use a Banksesque spaceship name for the title of a poem. My ship is called:
Distracted By Shiny Objects
Minutes to go and there, out the window, light shifts down flicks itself
into her goldilocks, and you're done for, done in by the flash
in your pants and her perfect teeth, the sapphire stud in her nose
the well-muscled shoulder, how her hand holds that taco
and the juice, there, at the corner of Lip and Heaven, down the chin
where you aim to go left til Shiny, heading for Divine.
