Moon View
They say the same side of the moon always faces earth,and that old lunar man watches
lovers in the parks,
on the beach,
watches
four,
three,
two,
one.
One day
we'll arrive
on the moon's dark side --
green cheese and a bottle of wine --
shielded from old men's eyes, and a telescope or two.
