I see the moon
-
Not Synced
the moon sees me
-
Not Synced
the moon sees somebody
-
Not Synced
that I don't see
-
Not Synced
God bless the moon
-
Not Synced
and God bless me
-
Not Synced
and God bless the somebody
that I don't see

Not Synced
If I get to heaven
-
Not Synced
before you do
-
Not Synced
I'll make a hole
-
Not Synced
and pull you through
-
Not Synced
and I'll write your name
-
Not Synced
on every star
-
Not Synced
and that way the world
-
Not Synced
won't seem so far

The astronaut will not be at work today.
He has called in sick.
-
Not Synced
He has turned off his cell phone,
his laptop, his pager, his alarm clock.
-
Not Synced
There is a fat yellow cat asleep on his couch,
raindrops against the window
-

and not even the hint coffee
in the kitchen air.

Everybody is in a tizzy.

The engineers on the fifteenth floor have
stopped working on their particle machine.

The anti-gravity room is leaking,
and even the freckled kid with glasses,
-
Not Synced
whose only job it is to take out the trash
is nervous, fumbles the bag,
-
Not Synced
spills the banana peel and a paper cup.
Nobody notices.
-
Not Synced
They are too busy re-calculating
what this will mean for lost time.

How many galaxies
are we losing per second?

Not Synced
How long before the next rocket

A mother finishes setting
the table for dinner.

A "Law and Order" marathon is starting.
The astronaut is asleep.
-
Not Synced
He has forgotten to turn off his watch
which ticks like a metal pulse
-
Not Synced

He does not hear it.
-
Not Synced
He dreams of coral reefs and plankton.
-
Not Synced
His fingers find the pillow cases,
sailing masts.
-
Not Synced
He turns on his side, opens his eyes once.
-
Not Synced
He thinks that scuba divers must have
the most wonderful job in the world,
-
Not Synced
so much water to glide through.
-
Not Synced
Thank you.
