Is It The Moon? A millennial’s memoir.
Eyes blink awake in darkness
I squint at the blue-bright screen
Praying for a decent hour...
2:30AM
It couldn’t at least be 4??
Why am I awake.
The bed’s too hard
I stared at the screen too long
I ate too late
It’s that time of the month
Or could it be... the full moon?
Oh how I want it to be the moon.
Could my body be so in tune?
That I am awoken
by Her gleaming, sparkling
magical, no, mystical
full, reflection?
Could it be?
I stay in bed smiling to myself
Proud
Yes, that must be it.
I’m just so balanced
So in touch
I am awoken
By this marvelous marble
In the sky
This lovely luna
Oh, how I love thee
Mrs Moon
Why thank you for waking me
For shaking me
From my peaceful slumber
Where I was peacefully dreaming
Safely dreaming on a comfy cloud
With no desire to remain
For I wished to feel your connection
Dear Luna.
NOT!
It’s not even a full moon, dammit!
It’s not a new moon!
Mercury is NOT retrograde!
So please tell me,
Why am I awake?!
Oh yeah
“Have you tried those
Blue-light blocking glasses?”
Nahh it’s probly the moon
