do you ever get jealous
Letters to the Moon
dear moon
do you ever get jealous of us
of our whispers and melodies and i love yous in the dark
but it's never to you
instead we've turned you
a royal celestial
into a lowly messenger
passing sweet missives to our lovers
a part of the story for only a moment
***
do you ever get jealous of us
of how our hands can reach out
and kiss the skin of another
under the stars
and yet you are closer to them then we are
and much like us
you cannot grab a hold of even one
you can only stare and wish you could
***

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
