The moon hung large
Wandering amidst clouds,
Palely luminous in a violet sky
Outlined by streetlights.
 
You must have been Twitlering on
Loudly and stupidly, your moron mind
On full display, like a piece of maggoty cheese.
Your minions hung your words, traitors all,
Outlining you with broad smiles,
Congratulating themselves on a job well-done.
They pulled it off.
They produced you.
 
I never listen to you. I didn’t tune in.
I put rage aside for a few moments.
Instead, I lost myself in floating
In a huge, indifferent sky,
Diffused with moonlit clouds,
And called down the moon.
