Teppida

rocks watching the moon rise
over the banyan grove
in the shadows 
the monkeys fornicate
ears and eyes recording
this singularly unique but ordinary evening
the glowing moon never moves an iota
while it is being watched
the jumping pike
makes a triumphal splash
all motion moves in invisible chains

Thanks for your insightful and witty comments Kurt. I like your poems. I originally clicked on your avatar because I thought you might be Thomas Pynchon!
