we are all starved. i love this line. I want to write a poem about it. I also want to write a poem about the moon. The moon is so funny! The moon makes me laugh. Ha ha, what a silly moon. It makes so much noise and at night i can't go to sleep because it is constantly chattering. I lay in bed and try to relax and to fall asleep. And as soon as the light's turned out and I am all alone, tucked into bed, up to my chin, i begin to hear it. The babble of that crazy moon. It talks and talks about nothing. That moon is so noisy. "Shhhh..., moon," I say to no avail. What a silly, noisy moon. I want to invite it over for dinner. My friends -- they aren't really my friends, they are sock puppets -- they don't believe me when i say that the moon is too loud. They must be jealous. I know they are, because they are just dumb old socks. They want to hear the moon. Yup. They can't handle the fact that I consistently hear the moon night after night, and they don't. So they tell me I'm crazy and PSYCHO. Sure I am. Just because I hear the moon and they don't, I am suddenly some kook. Really, I am a cook. But we all know I'm not nuts. I am the chosen one. The moon wants to talk to me, you see. It wants to tell me its recipe for goulash. And it picks me to hear, because I will listen to it. And the really funny thing is that I don't even like goulash. See, I'm so tired when I'm laying there, trying my best to fall asleep that I can't exactly listen. Or hear. Hmmmm..... goulash.... Thinking back on this moon chattering-ness, it's sort of a buzz. Like "buhhhhhh" or perhaps it was "Ding, ding, shala wing bing." Something is getting frapped. Tonight i think i'll listen up. Yeah, if that silly moon is choosing me, it must have something important to say about goulash. I love the moon, but I hate goulash. |
