we sat, squatting on a solar kerb
and whirled the Way with our hands
giggling in innocent malice
We set conundrums
poised at ninety degrees
to line of sight
The moon laughed
and we reached out
gave some monkeys
delusions of grandeur
and oh look
doesnt this one look emtpyh?
The moon laughed twice
and spat a planet
or two for company
and we stood up reaching
for another galaxy
to casually stuff in our pockets
the moon laughed three times
and we folded ourselves
into a backpack and sat
on the side of a dusty
Australian road.
