Calculating the Next Fullmoon

Calculating the Next Full Moon
David J Walker

It seems there would be a certain 
Expectation of the consistent phases 
Of the moon

Is it not where we left it 
the last time
We needed an explanation of
What went wrong

Is it an allegory of an algorithms  
Miscalculation 

Is it the result of putting 
Too much trust 
In moon dust 

I was sure it knew my name
As it turned its face in
Indifference 

The same as the last quarters
reflection
of an overcast 
Midnight production
