i say
if the
violated moon
were to look
down upon me
and say,
"yon young man
rapidly growing older
gaze upon me still
with wonder
with awe
as ever before
for lo' though
i've been tainted and befouled
by your corporate technology
verily may i yet evoke in you
fathoms of rapture
hecacres of love!"
 
well
if the moon
were to say
something
like that
to me
i'd probably
glance for
a moment
somewhat
skeptically
into the now not so familiar
pock mocked face
and murmur,
"what kind of
doddering
outmoded
old fool
is this?"
