Moon III

When I got here and when I
Woke up are nowhere
Near the same
I came with the moon
To a land of dancing in the garden in the moonlight
And floppy discs
I let myself assume it'd sustain itself
And I fell asleep
Like a damned fool
But when I finally woke up
It was clear I'd lost some time
And I needed to get started
Right away
A thousand dances
And poems
Showed up at my door
Marked urgent
I removed the sticker and wore it as a poem
Around my neck
I heard sirens sing to me
The what was next
And I felt guidance counselors
At my shoulders
Ready to push me forward
When I woke up
I realized I should've already
Hit the ground running but
I arrived glued to the sky.
