Not Rocket Science

our day
Thursday
was always
our day until
as of late i made

the statement
close to landing
on the moon but mis
taken and both misquoted
"That's one small step for a man..."

leaps and 
bounds later
i find i can't find
her yet know she's
there so back i go to

sleep
where 
i will find
her seemingly
next to me yet i

leapt 
didn't
she know 
it was "a man"
on the moon and

breaking
up Houston
the real quote
"we've had a problem
here" but she's nowhere

near
nearly
falling back
into sleep but 
needing to speak

or at
least write
it was today but
now not even tonight
but the early hours of Thursday
