We were not talking, driving home
fom somewhere. I was looking out
past the red light when I told my ex-wife
how I’d heard in a movie that for centuries
the man in the moon was awful lonely, but then
the astronauts came briefly and left him heartbroken
and how that was so much worse. She turned
her head toward her window, and said calmly
it was all bullshit, that she’d never been able
to see the goddamn man in the moon even when
she was a little kid. I stared hard up at the moon
and realized now I couldn’t see him any more
either when the guy behind us beeped his horn
to let us know the light had changed.
