LOGOS

 

The moon is yellow

as heroin eyes

and who can blame it

for shooting up stars

trying to forget

that it's a satellite

with no stature

like Saturn

no rings

unmarried

to itself

or another

except earth

which wishes

to exploit

use it

as cause célèbre

and now

soon all nations

shall visit it

like an extra-global

prostitute

give it AIDS

fuck it to death

and above all

advertise.
