To Be Poem

To Be,
having not been for
so very long.
How long?
How long?
As long as the universe
and as wide
as her eyes
in this
silly
sad world;
and she looks
at the same moon
as I
and she moves her toes in the dirt
connected to the dirt under me.

Moon I say.

Moon,

so orange and blue.

You are a pathetic rock

without her eyes

to see you.





The last poem was Meaningless Scribbles from a Tiny Universe by David Michael Jackson. The next poem is it’s all absurd
