The moon is a fishing hole in the lake
of iced-over space,
and we are fishes looking up.
Fisher-kings of light
sprinkle fish food through the hole
and that’s what we call sight.
It might be a floating round Rosetta stone
undeciphered so long
it radioactivated and glows.
It’s a flying saucer in slowmotion
from an ultra-cool culture
where leisure time is derigeur.
It’s a neon hammock in the sky;
it’s an amputated, glowing clock;
it’s a big city in a country sky
seen at night from an airplane.
It may be other things besides.
It’s bound to be more than just
a neon speed-bump floating in space
trying to slow down the streak of the sun.
