You and the Moon

and, glad the last astronaut there left the light on I stand by the back door, you have the TV on loud a coin so high, mid toss heads or tails, who knows it’s like waiting for rainbows at night, stars to melt but the laugh’s on you, I could lean here for hours

a got a kick out of this one Clive, especially the last line. I used to tell my students who stayed after school to slowly finish an assignment hoping I'd get frustrated and let them go home. I'd say, "I can wait here for hours." Bothered them every time. :-)

Clive, I spend time immersed in each line, then work to derive meaning from the poems totality. I am fascinated and intrigued by your poems. In case it's not apparent, it's a complement of your writings!
