MOON

there is the moon

there is the night

there is the quiet

that is not silent

speaking to the quiet

speaking in the silence

speaking with the night

there is the moon

night listens

in the music of the moon

and the rhythm  of silence

to the beat of quiet

to be the night

breathing the quiet

anticipating that silence

there is the moon

when i get to 2oo

when i get to 200

they'll not ask for explanations

they'll think you already know

they'll just want to hear it recited

those things

they'll already

know

and then

they'll explain

the explanation

and reciting their knowledge

knowing already

those things that'll never be 

 or asked

wanting only to hear

those they'll not want to ask

for explanations

they'll just want heard

those explanations 

they'll already little 

know

when i get to 200

and the lack of asking 

becomes reciting

in that lack

and not seeking

then to explain 

the asking

when i get to 200

explanations already known

reciting for the asking

hearing that want

they'll not ask

and then

that surprise
