Aberrant Clutch Moon

April 14, 2012 by Tim Ruane Leave a Comment

All botched up in the moonlight at

Sullen the rooftops

And yellow air I

Might love her like Aristotle, but

That won’t get me published by Garrison Keillor

0r Rush Limbaugh Bourgeois who

Listens to them, like cherry trees. I have

A date and I swear we shall commence upside down, like a Plutonic ally

In reverse,

In Athens

At some modern gallery of who understands art.

Please earn 222. Would

You commence straddled by the moon?

Like a dunce
