a moon poem

waking crusty
the hot shower
morning phlegm

noon and after
field appointment
a series of vignettes all day

the moon tonight
rest in comfortable life
the moon tonight
rest in, rest out
the moon tonight
hit my ass, just tell me what to say

well baby,
guess you wanna fight

chorus:
way away
way away
you don’t stray
give your love away
’s why we say

baby,
guess you wanna stay
guess you have a name
so you can grab my mane

(busy jazz part)

baby,
let’s talk it over
while I cut this juice
while you wash your car
as the sun eats the moon
so the sun can have more room

chorus:
way away
way away
you don’t stray
send your love away
’s why I say

baby,
guess we gotta go
guess I hurt it like I always do
so you can say the same

scenes and scenarios
front to back, noon to nap
life is like that all the time
and lonely sometimes too

rim shot*
two or three
willow rhythm recedes
lights stay glowing
as audience files out
grumbling

lunatic sidewalk
gyro crazy glow
knowing smiles straight at ya
all the way blessed cozy home

wink and shrug
