> Crescent Moon
Pedaling along the old paths.
Something’s there and something’s not.
Velvet-like, the crescent moon.
The Velvet Underground, in the groves...
By the church wall, an elderly woman.
With leftover vegetables.
People murmuring prayers.
Does she know what it all means?
March 23> The Atomic You
People adore you, so do people hurt.
Finding my way to escape.
The atomics that made you.
What’s on their minds, or are they mindless?
I wish I could be one of them.
