Month: April 2010

rock-a-bye, lullaby, pie-eyed
moon. we could all fall asleep
in the cradle of you.

when your big brother tells you to do somethin
moon…you might havta wonder
if he’s up to no good.

(Jim‘s got a flashlight)
(in case we’re stuck here all night…)

edge of a Thin Mint that won’t fit in one bite
moon. you’re minty.
with chocolate.
mysterious and cool.

thinkin bout gettin tattooed
moon. and maybe a piercing or two.
Jane thinks we’ll regret it–
but we told her fuggeddit.

(never enough variations of you…)

we might havta stay up all night
moon. cuz it’s Spring on the prairie
and there’s so much to do.

(you don’t have a list?)
(Jane‘ll make one for you…)

thin as an eyelash in the sky
moon. let’s try some big, bold mascara
on you.

(Jim says to wear blue)
(so you’ll match his spacesuit)

so thin the wind blew you away
moon. best fatten you up
before you return.

you don’t havta eat all the Nut-Thins
moon. just cuz they come in one box.

and the same goes for Mike and Ike
Whoppers and Peeps… Junior Mints
Smarties and Brach’s.

(candy corn)

folks keep sayin you’re goin away
moon. and it’s true that you’re vanishing
fast. but we’re researchin options
and alternate plans.
and we’re thinkin for sure you’ll come back.

the outline is not gonna help
moon. due to a short attention…
hey, is that Jane?
