I tried to show you the moon,
it had peeked out of the clouds,
it was so bright it had startled me,
appearing in the corner of my eye...
It was at just the right height in the sky
to center itself in the small window
in our livingroom,
I was stretched out on the couch at
just the right angle to see it.

It was beautiful, luminous and large,
ripe and cool, god, it was so amazing,
and the clouds from the storms that had
passed through had turned wispy and transparent
in parts, moving so, so quickly across its face
with the high winds we were having...
It made me feel cozy with that feeling you get
when you see something out of the ordinary,
something that seems like out of a movie...
I wanted to share it with you.

apparently,
the moon, no matter how stunning,
no matter what performance the atmospherics are playing,
no matter what the singular chance that we should see such a thing,
apparently, it is not enough to interest you,
and it is a silly, girly, foolish thing to try and share with you.
