the moon can't
be trivialized
to fractionslike last night's seven/eighths
or maybe it was five/sixths
it was bright
enough
to
differentiate the recyclingfrom the rubbish cans
though the puddles in the alley
needed galoshes
who even uses that word now
being from pittsburgh
is enough of a reason
strange times
indeed
keeping
everyone off-balanceyou can tell by their driving habits
like hydroplaning
& continuous braking
and for every new-old construction site
there's another flashing emergency vehicle
about to be deployed
you take your life seriously
as a rear view mirror
is that eighteen wheeler
closer or further than it appears
even a full
moon
has its
unexpected detractorsstill
what hides in the clouds
can be whimsically left
as a secret
