Clavius

Who has never seen the hole inside the hole On that moon parked there in the courtyard, In the crater within the crater, The cold silver light that Clavius generates? We the lost mass Obese owners of apartments with no view, Blind travelers beneath the stars, impatient patients, ignorant of galaxies and infinity. (Clavius is one of the largest crater formations on the Moon. It is so large that it harbors other craters in its interior.)

I can imagine staring at the moon, "the cold silver light." But I suspect that not many of us pay it the attention it deserves, for we are, indeed, "ignorant of galaxies and infinity." Consequently, we ignore the needs of our own planet.
