What is she supposed to do now? Dust?
She can't--
the task seems too monumental,
and with him gone, who cares anyway?
He came out of the blue, fell from the sky,
a knight in shining armor.
She should've known he'd have a wife.
He went home to get some things
in 1969.
Now, here she is alone--
losing her mind,
getting older,
and wearing his stupid flag around her face
like a wedding veil.

Poor moon.. and that flag would look stupid for sure without even wind to tear it apart.

ReplyDeleteNever trust anyone who falls out of the sky, especially if they have armor. What a song that is!
ReplyDeletemaybe he went to Canada .. ;)
