A Stretch of the Imagination
diminished hexaverse using words rather than syllables
Moon dust is said to cause
woe for earthling’s noses and lungs.
Powdery particles eat through stainless steel,
stick like glue and congest breathing.
I mention in passing another threat -
moon dust jams expensive electronic equipment.
Moon dust floats down unknowingly
to earth carrying deep secrets
from the lunar atmosphere like
invisible snow - pixie dust which
beguiles enchanted earthlings with ecstasy.
Some dreamers have insisted
that these invasive particles
when dispersed upon them,
totally transfixes two teenagers:
increasing their chances
for physical attraction -
magical, mesmeric magnetism,
doubling parents'
apprehension and
angst.
