Others Before

knowingly i see
the absurd as if
it were the word

though i read
i need to know
how far we've

gone and think
how much i've
trespassed on

your land like i'm
landing on the
moon as if

the first time
but trying to
put my shoes

into the prints
left before
there was

me

What is thus word "crafted" lololol I read it again and was including Kubrick and Armstrong and, if you havent seen your fabulous Canadian actor Ron Peralman on "Moon Walkers", it's a must watch!!!
